What the study found

Who was studied 670,471 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0151 lower (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.019); p = 4 × 10−17.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 54% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.2 — in an intron of DCC.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs62098054

What is rs62098054?

rs62098054 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DCC gene. Published research associates it with self-reported math ability (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 rs62098054 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 rs62098054 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 rs62098054 come from?

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