TMEM132D · rs111638979

What the study found

Who was studied 90,515 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.531 higher (95% confidence interval 0.35-0.72); p = 2 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.33 — in an intron of TMEM132D.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Sleep (1/2-day periodicity) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Sleep (1/2-day periodicity).
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Sleep (1/2-day periodicity) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs111638979

What is rs111638979?

rs111638979 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TMEM132D gene. Published research associates it with sleep (1/2-day periodicity). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs111638979 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 rs111638979 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2020, PMID:33075057. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
