What the study found

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

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0114 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0081-0.0147); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 77% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18p11.22 — between genes, 1 kb from LINC02856.

What each result means

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