What the study found

Who was studied 811,539 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0112 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0079-0.0145); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 56% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p21.1 — in an intron of CACNA2D3.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Highest math class taken (MTAG). 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 Highest math class taken (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Highest math class taken (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7623444

What is rs7623444?

rs7623444 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CACNA2D3 gene. Published research associates it with highest math class taken (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 rs7623444 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 rs7623444 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 rs7623444 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.
