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 7.52 z-score higher (95% confidence interval 7.52-7.52); p = 5 × 10−14.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 46% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xp21.1 — between genes, 20.6 kb from LOC107985674.

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.

Questions about rs12845470

What is rs12845470?

rs12845470 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM47A gene. Published research associates it with educational attainment (years of education). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs12845470 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 rs12845470 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 rs12845470 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.
