Frequently asked questions

What does rs10968750 mean?

It is a genetic variant in the LINGO2 gene that has been linked to Alzheimer's disease in people who are not hypertensive, with an effect size of 2.63 and p=2e-6.

Is this variant common?

The GWAS includes about 4 thousand participants and reports only the T allele as associated; it is not a rare disease-causing variant but a modestly significant association.

Can I change my risk?

This study does not provide any information on how to modify lifestyle or treatment based on this variant.
