What the study found

Who was studied 510,795 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0437 higher (95% confidence interval 0.029-0.058); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 38% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q22.1 — in an intron of WWP2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Noncognitive aspects of educational attainment. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Noncognitive aspects of educational attainment. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Noncognitive aspects of educational attainment. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs9630631

What is rs9630631?

rs9630631 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WWP2 gene. Published research associates it with noncognitive aspects of 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 rs9630631 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 rs9630631 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 rs9630631 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33414549. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
