What the study found

Who was studied up to 1,131,881 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0105 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0074-0.0136); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 72% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q13.2 — between genes, 71.7 kb from MIR1269A.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Educational attainment (years of education). 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 Educational attainment (years of education). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Educational attainment (years of education). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

What conditions is rs11732160 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 rs11732160 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 rs11732160 come from?
