What the study found

Who was studied 128,681 European ancestry cases, 849,833 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 0.94 times the odds of Alzheimer's disease, proxy Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (95% confidence interval 0.92-0.96); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q32.33 — between genes, 1.1 kb from IGHV3-64.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs56965016

What is rs56965016?

rs56965016 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near IGHV3-64 gene. Published research associates it with alzheimer's disease, proxy alzheimer's disease or related dementias. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs56965016 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 rs56965016 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 rs56965016 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:42237039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
