What the study found

Who was studied 75,638 European ancestry cases, 1,043,805 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 0.96 times the odds of Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (95% confidence interval 0.95-0.97); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q24.2 — inside C16orf95.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs8047567

What is rs8047567?

rs8047567 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C16orf95 gene. Published research associates it with alzheimer's disease or related dementias. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs8047567 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 rs8047567 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 rs8047567 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:42237039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
