What the study found

Who was studied 402,382 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0169 lower (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.022); p = 4 × 10−10.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q14.3 — in an intron of MEF2C.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Cognitive performance (MTAG) compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Cognitive performance (MTAG).
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Cognitive performance (MTAG) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs13155750

What is rs13155750?

rs13155750 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MEF2C gene. Published research associates it with cognitive performance (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 rs13155750 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 rs13155750 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 rs13155750 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.
