Alzheimer's disease in APOE e44 or e43 genotype

HP1BP3 · rs2274119

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 29,122 European ancestry cases, 164,206 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.15 times the odds of Alzheimer's disease in APOE e44 or e43 genotype (95% confidence interval 1.1-1.21); p = 1 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.12 — in an intron of HP1BP3.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease in APOE e44 or e43 genotype. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease in APOE e44 or e43 genotype. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease in APOE e44 or e43 genotype. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2274119

What is rs2274119?

rs2274119 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HP1BP3 gene. Published research associates it with alzheimer's disease in apoe e44 or e43 genotype. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2274119 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Alzheimer's Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2274119 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs2274119 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:42736378. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
