Cerebrospinal fluid p-tau levels

near GMNC · rs9877502

What the study found

Who was studied 7,798 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 4,755 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 12.7 z score higher; p = 1 × 10−36.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 39% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q28 — between genes, 59.3 kb from GMNC.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid p-tau levels. 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 Cerebrospinal fluid p-tau levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid p-tau levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs9877502

What is rs9877502?

rs9877502 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near GMNC gene. Published research associates it with cerebrospinal fluid p-tau levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9877502 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 rs9877502 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Acta neuropathologica 2022, PMID:36066633. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
