rs17070145
KIBRA KIBRA (WWC1)rs17070145 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the KIBRA / KIBRA (WWC1) gene. Genespiral reads it in the Aging & Longevity and Learning & Cognition analyses to describe Memory Performance.

- KIBRA / KIBRA (WWC1)
- Alleles
- C / T
- Genotypes
- CC, CT, TT
- Traits
- 2 traits across 2 analyses
An rsID such as rs17070145 is the reference number dbSNP assigns to one position in the genome where people commonly differ by a single letter. Raw data exports from 23andMe and AncestryDNA list your two alleles at that position as a genotype - for this marker one of CC, CT, TT. The order of the two letters carries no meaning, so CT and its reverse are the same genotype.
Alleles on this page are written on the forward (plus) strand, matching how consumer raw files report them. Other references sometimes describe the same variant on the opposite strand, which swaps A↔T and C↔G - see why the same variant can look different. The associations below are educational summaries of published research; they are not diagnoses, and the effect of any single SNP is usually modest.
Memory Performance (Aging & Longevity)
Cognitive Aging · Part of the Aging & Longevity analysis
Involved in synaptic plasticity.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| CC | Typical memory performance |
| CT | Slight variation in performance |
| TT | Modest variation in performance |
- Summary
- One of many genes affecting memory function.
- Scientific insights
- Cognitive stimulation important regardless of genotype.
- Lifestyle tips
- Regular mental exercise benefits all genetic profiles.
Memory Performance (Learning & Cognition)
Memory · Part of the Learning & Cognition analysis
Associated with episodic memory performance and hippocampal function.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| TT | Enhanced memory performance |
| CT | Average memory performance |
| CC | Reduced memory performance |
- Summary
- Variations in the KIBRA gene can influence memory performance, particularly in tasks involving episodic memory.
- Scientific insights
- Individuals with the 'TT' genotype tend to perform better on memory tasks compared to 'CC' carriers.
- Lifestyle tips
- Engaging in memory-enhancing activities like puzzles and memory games can help improve cognitive function.
