What the study found

Who was studied 384,317 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0266 lower (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.036); p = 5 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q24.3 — between genes, 30.5 kb from FXNP1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11621908

What is rs11621908?

rs11621908 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near FXNP1 gene. Published research associates it with sleep duration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11621908 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Sleep and Circadian Rhythm. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs11621908 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 rs11621908 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30804565. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
