A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Sleep duration compared to the general population.
A/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Sleep duration.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Sleep duration — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs17190618
What is rs17190618?
rs17190618 is a single position in the genome, in or near the VRK2 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 rs17190618 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 rs17190618 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 rs17190618 come from?
GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2016, PMID:27494321. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
