Where this position leads

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Educational attainment (years of education) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Educational attainment (years of education).

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Educational attainment (years of education) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs1056667

What is rs1056667?

rs1056667 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BTN1A1 gene. Published research associates it with educational attainment (years of education). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1056667 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Educational Attainment. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs1056667 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs1056667 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science 2013, PMID:23722424. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
