research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 430,445 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0159 higher (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.021); p = 2 × 10−10.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 71% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q13.31 — inside LSAMP.
What each result means
A/A
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Highest math class taken — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/C
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Highest math class taken.
C/C
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Highest math class taken compared to the general population.

Questions about rs78268384
What is rs78268384?
rs78268384 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LSAMP gene. Published research associates it with highest math class taken. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs78268384 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 rs78268384 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.
