Who was studied 5 Hutterite (founder/genetic isolate) cases, 26 Hutterite (founder/genetic isolate) controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele carried 2.72 times the odds of Alzheimer's disease (95% confidence interval 2.09-3.55); p = 3 × 10−9.
Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p12.3 — between genes, 29.1 kb from LINC02838.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6978419
What is rs6978419?
rs6978419 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02838 gene. Published research associates it with 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 rs6978419 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Alzheimer's Disease Risk (APOE). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs6978419 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 rs6978419 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2023, PMID:35770850. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
