rs6903716 Condition: Intelligence Intelligence Condition rs6903716 rs6903716 CASC15

What the study found

Who was studied 269,867 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 5.97 z-score higher; p = 2 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.3 — in an intron of CASC15.

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 rs6903716

What is rs6903716?

rs6903716 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CASC15 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 rs6903716 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 rs6903716 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 rs6903716 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.
