What the study found

Who was studied 37,075 European, African, Admixed American, Asian, Middle Eastern, Oceanic or unknown ancestry cases, 367,392 European, African, Admixed American, Asian, Middle Eastern, Oceanic or unknown ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 5 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p11.2 — between genes, 3.2 kb from DRG2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs941572665

What is rs941572665?

rs941572665 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near DRG2 gene. Published research associates it with alzheimer's disease or family history of 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 rs941572665 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 rs941572665 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 rs941572665 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025, PMID:39998322. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
