What the study found

Who was studied 564,698 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0112 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0073-0.0151); p = 1 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 53% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.33 — in an intron of FBRSL1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4883556

What is rs4883556?

rs4883556 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FBRSL1 gene. Published research associates it with self-reported math 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 rs4883556 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 rs4883556 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 rs4883556 come from?

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