What the study found

Who was studied 257,700 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0444 lower (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.059); p = 9 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 25% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q21.3 — between genes, 123.3 kb from LINC01515.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Cognitive aspects of educational attainment. 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 aspects of educational attainment. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Cognitive aspects of educational attainment. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
