What the study found

Who was studied 120,934 British ancestry individuals, 127,548 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0215 higher (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.027); p = 2 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p31.1 — in an intron of NEGR1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12137231

What is rs12137231?

rs12137231 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NEGR1 gene. Published research associates it with intelligence (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 rs12137231 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 rs12137231 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 rs12137231 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Molecular psychiatry 2019, PMID:29326435. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
