What the research says This variant rs117483990 is associated with Alzheimer disease and earlier age of onset PMID 26830138. The effect size reported is 6.07 p=1e-9 in about 4 thousand individuals.

Reported associations Alzheimer disease: This variant increases risk for Alzheimer disease with a reported effect size of 6.07 p=1e-9 PMID 26830138. Age of onset: The same variant is linked to earlier age of onset with a reported effect size of 6.07 p=1e-9 PMID 26830138.

Evidence quality The supplied study is a genome wide association study with about 4 thousand individuals reporting an effect size of 6.07 p=1e-9 for Alzheimer disease and age of onset PMID 26830138. No other studies were provided so the evidence is limited to this single GWAS.

Lifestyle considerations No lifestyle considerations on file for this variant.
