What the study found

Who was studied 269,867 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 7.03 z-score higher; p = 2 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p21.31 — in the 3′ untranslated region of USP4.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Intelligence. 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 Intelligence. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Intelligence. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs56306491

What is rs56306491?

rs56306491 is a single position in the genome, in or near the USP4 gene. Published research associates it with 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 rs56306491 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 rs56306491 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 rs56306491 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:29942086. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
