Language-processing tendency

Learning & Memory

Receptive language ability measures how well people understand spoken or written language. It is one component of broader language skills.

GWAS work has identified variants linked to language and reading-related traits, with some overlap with educational attainment and cognitive ability.

This result reflects research-level variation in language biology and is not a language test.

Early language exposure, education, hearing, and overall cognitive health all strongly affect actual language ability.

SNPs tested

These are the unique genetic markers analyzed for this trait. Genotypes showing "--" were not identified in your DNA file. Report marker totals can include repeated study entries; this table shows each SNP once.

Genotypes and reported variant frequencies
SNP	Genotype	Variant allele	Frequency
rs11787922	GT	T	21.59%
rs12297354	--	A	18.35%
rs2236018	--	C	54.01%

DNA Genics reports genotypes based on the 'positive' strand of the human genome reference sequence (build 37/HG19). Other companies may use the opposite strand, so genotypes may need conversion for comparison.
