Cerebrospinal AB1-42 levels in normal cognition

NACA2 · rs2378873

What the study found

Who was studied 305 European ancestry cognitively normal individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.53 lower (95% confidence interval 0.33-0.73); p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q23.2 — between genes, 19.3 kb from NACA2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Cerebrospinal AB1-42 levels in normal cognition — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Cerebrospinal AB1-42 levels in normal cognition.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Cerebrospinal AB1-42 levels in normal cognition compared to the general population.

Questions about rs2378873

What is rs2378873?

rs2378873 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NACA2 gene. Published research associates it with cerebrospinal ab1-42 levels in normal cognition. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2378873 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 rs2378873 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Alzheimers Dement 2017, PMID:29274321. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
