Who was studied (see Lambert 2013 and Okbay 2016).
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 59 z score higher; p = 5 × 10−12.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 33% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.2 — in an intron of MS4A6E.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease or educational attainment (pleiotropy). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease or educational attainment (pleiotropy). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease or educational attainment (pleiotropy). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
rs72924659 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MS4A6E gene. Published research associates it with alzheimer's disease or educational attainment (pleiotropy). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs72924659 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 rs72924659 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 rs72924659 come from?
GWAS Catalog, GeroScience 2022, PMID:34743297. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
