What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease or family history of Alzheimer's disease. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease or family history of Alzheimer's disease. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease or family history of Alzheimer's disease. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs536039270

What is rs536039270?

rs536039270 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near EFCAB3 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.

What conditions is rs536039270 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 rs536039270 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 rs536039270 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025, PMID:39998322. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
