Questions about rs237711

What is rs237711?

rs237711 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCNB1 gene. Published research associates it with fluid 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 rs237711 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 rs237711 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 rs237711 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2026, PMID:42092107. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
