Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 18,948 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.065 lower (95% confidence interval 0.043-0.087); p = 6 × 10⁻⁹.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p22.3 — in the 3′ untranslated region of AMZ1.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid p-tau181 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid p-tau181 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid p-tau181 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs798560

What is rs798560?

rs798560 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AMZ1 gene. Published research associates it with cerebrospinal fluid p-tau181 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs798560 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 rs798560 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2026, PMID:42014397. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
