Neurofibrillary tangles

PTPRD · rs560380

What the study found

Who was studied 909 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 369 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.1 higher (95% confidence interval 0.07-0.14); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 55% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p23 — in an intron of PTPRD.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Neurofibrillary tangles. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Neurofibrillary tangles. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Neurofibrillary tangles. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs560380

What is rs560380?

rs560380 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PTPRD gene. Published research associates it with neurofibrillary tangles. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs560380 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 rs560380 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Molecular psychiatry 2018, PMID:28322283. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
