Neuritic plaque

GALNT7 · rs62341097

What the study found

Who was studied up to 4,232 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 1.15 lower (95% confidence interval 0.76-1.53); p = 6 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q34.1 — in an intron of GALNT7.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs62341097

What is rs62341097?

rs62341097 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GALNT7 gene. Published research associates it with neuritic plaque. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62341097 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 rs62341097 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2014, PMID:25188341. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
