Questions about rs34172651

What is rs34172651?

rs34172651 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TNRC6A gene. Published research associates it with intelligence (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 rs34172651 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 rs34172651 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 rs34172651 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Mol Psychiatry 2018, PMID:29326435. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
