Who was studied at least 71,880 European ancestry cases, at least 383,378 European ancestry controls (MTAG boosted by 185,000 coronary artery disease samples).
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.03 higher (95% confidence interval 0.024-0.036); p = 9 × 10−23.
Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.32 — in an intron of CEACAM16-AS1.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs79638902
What is rs79638902?
rs79638902 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CEACAM16-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with alzheimer's disease (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs79638902 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 rs79638902 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 rs79638902 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39537608. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
