Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−9, with 2 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 3,037,499 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.00726 higher (95% confidence interval 0.005-0.0095); p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 72% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q26.2 — between genes, 0.3 kb from SLC2A2.

What ClinVar records

Change history MyGeneLog™ keeps a copy of every weekly release from 2026-10-19 and compares them. This position's classification has not changed since.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-11-01 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Educational attainment. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Educational attainment. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Educational attainment. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
