Condition: Intelligence

rs237706 Condition: Intelligence Intelligence Condition rs237706 rs237706 ZFAS1

What the study found

Who was studied 269,867 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 6.38 z-score lower; p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.13 — in a non-coding transcript of ZFAS1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs237706

What is rs237706?

rs237706 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZFAS1 gene. Published research associates it with intelligence. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs237706 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Intelligence. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs237706 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 rs237706 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:29942086. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
