What each result means

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

What is rs6857?

rs6857 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PVRL2 gene. Published research associates it with dementia and core alzheimer's disease neuropathologic changes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6857 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.

What do people read about alongside rs6857?

Does having rs6857 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 rs6857 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.
