What the study found

Who was studied (see Lambert 2013 and Okbay 2016).

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 75.6 z score higher; p = 2 × 10−15.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 76% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q21.1 — between genes, 80.9 kb from PCDH17.

What each result means

A/A Two 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.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease or educational attainment (pleiotropy). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No 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.

Questions about rs9527702

What is rs9527702?

rs9527702 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PCDH17 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 rs9527702 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 rs9527702 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 rs9527702 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.
