Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.32 — in an intron of NECTIN2.
rs2436475 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NECTIN2 gene. Published research associates it with alzheimer's disease or family history of alzheimer's disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
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.
