What the study found

Who was studied 402,382 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0207 higher (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.026); p = 7 × 10−13.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p25.2 — between genes, 41.7 kb from RNU6-649P.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17020193

What is rs17020193?

rs17020193 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RNU6-649P 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 rs17020193 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 rs17020193 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 rs17020193 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:30038396. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
