The genome-wide association study of Multiple Sclerosis severity linked the genetic variant rs10191329A to long-term disability and implicated brain resilience as a determinant of outcome. We hypothesised that rs10191329A might influence cognition in other neurological diseases and healthy controls. We explored the relationship between rs10191329A and cognition using reaction time, fluid intelligence, and prospective memory tests in the UK Biobank. We observed weak but directionally consistent associations between rs10191329A and poorer cognition in controls, with similar but non-significant trends in Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and dementia. Our results support the hypothesis that rs10191329A might affect multiple sclerosis outcomes by affecting brain health.
