DIAPH3 · rs12871550

What the study found

Who was studied 449,734 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 248,098 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 32% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q21.2 — between genes, 8.1 kb from HMGN2P39.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12871550

What is rs12871550?

rs12871550 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DIAPH3 gene. Published research associates it with chronotype. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12871550 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 rs12871550 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:30696823. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
