What the study found

Who was studied 1,311,438 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0084 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0055-0.0113); p = 1 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 27% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p24.3 — in an intron of NBAS.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 2 submitters), last evaluated 2021-05-13. ClinVar record 1232987 NM_015909.4(NBAS):c.336-131C>A

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs55977282

What is rs55977282?

rs55977282 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NBAS gene. Published research associates it with educational attainment (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 rs55977282 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 rs55977282 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 rs55977282 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.
