Cognitive performance (MTAG)

WNK2 · rs10821097

What the study found

Who was studied 402,382 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0153 lower (95% confidence interval 0.01-0.02); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 29% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q22.31 — in an intron of WNK2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Cognitive performance (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Cognitive performance (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Cognitive performance (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs10821097

What is rs10821097?

rs10821097 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WNK2 gene. Published research associates it with cognitive performance (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10821097 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 rs10821097 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:30038396. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
