General cognitive ability

FLOT1 · rs3094127

Where this position leads

Condition: Intelligence

What the study found

Who was studied up to 300,486 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 5.64 z-score lower; p = 2 × 10⁻⁸.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of FLOT1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to General cognitive ability. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to General cognitive ability. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to General cognitive ability. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs3094127

What is rs3094127?

rs3094127 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FLOT1 gene. Published research associates it with general cognitive ability. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs3094127 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 rs3094127 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 rs3094127 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:29844566. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
