Snoring

SMG6 · rs12449843

What the study found

Who was studied 359,916 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.03 times the odds of Snoring (95% confidence interval 1.02-1.04); p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 62% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.3 — in an intron of SMG6.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12449843

What is rs12449843?

rs12449843 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SMG6 gene. Published research associates it with snoring. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12449843 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 rs12449843 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.
