Who was studied 3,037,499 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.00938 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0066-0.0121); p = 3 × 10−11.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 17% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q22.2 — in an intron of PMFBP1.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Educational attainment. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Educational attainment. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Educational attainment. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs72787078
What is rs72787078?
rs72787078 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PMFBP1 gene. Published research associates it with educational attainment. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs72787078 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 rs72787078 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 rs72787078 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2022, PMID:35361970. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
