Sleep duration (short sleep)

ZSCAN12 · rs142180737

What the study found

Who was studied 106,192 European ancestry cases, 305,742 European ancestry controls; replicated in 47,180 adults, 10,554 children or adolescents.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 4 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.1 — between genes, 1.9 kb from ZSCAN12.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs142180737

What is rs142180737?

rs142180737 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZSCAN12 gene. Published research associates it with sleep duration (short sleep). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs142180737 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 rs142180737 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2019, PMID:30846698. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
