What the study found

Who was studied 811,539 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.017 lower (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.022); p = 5 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q13.2 — in an intron of EFCAB6.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Highest math class taken (MTAG) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Highest math class taken (MTAG).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Highest math class taken (MTAG) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs137156

What is rs137156?

rs137156 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EFCAB6 gene. Published research associates it with highest math class taken (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 rs137156 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 rs137156 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 rs137156 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.
