What the study found

Who was studied 1,311,438 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0098 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0073-0.0123); p = 3 × 10−13.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 43% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q21.12 — between genes, 20.7 kb from KLF9.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11142425

What is rs11142425?

rs11142425 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near KLF9 gene. Published research associates it with educational attainment (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11142425 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 rs11142425 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 rs11142425 come from?

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