Where this position leads

Condition: Intelligence

rs7897470 Condition: Intelligence Intelligence Condition rs7897470 rs7897470 near NRBF2

What the study found

Who was studied 182,798 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0294 lower; p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q21.3 — between genes, 1.3 kb from NRBF2.

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Fluid intelligence compared to the general population.
G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Fluid intelligence.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Fluid intelligence — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs7897470

What is rs7897470?

rs7897470 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NRBF2 gene. Published research associates it with fluid 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 rs7897470 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 rs7897470 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 rs7897470 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2026, PMID:42092107. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
