rs11646221 Condition: Intelligence Intelligence Condition rs11646221 rs11646221 RBFOX1

What the study found

Who was studied 269,867 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 6.4 z-score higher; p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.3 — in an intron of RBFOX1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11646221

What is rs11646221?

rs11646221 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RBFOX1 gene. Published research associates it with intelligence. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11646221 linked to?

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

Does having rs11646221 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 rs11646221 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:29942086. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
