Educational attainment (years of education)

ATF7IP · rs7964899

Where this position leads

Condition: Educational Attainment

What the study found

Who was studied 405,072 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0162 higher; p = 4 × 10⁻¹³.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p13.1 — in an intron of ATF7IP.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Educational attainment (years of education). 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 Educational attainment (years of education). That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Educational attainment (years of education). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7964899

What is rs7964899?

rs7964899 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ATF7IP gene. Published research associates it with educational attainment (years of education). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7964899 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 rs7964899 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 rs7964899 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2016, PMID:27225129. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
