PER3 · rs189355347

What the study found

Who was studied 626 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 119,956 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 2,389 European ancestry cases, 444,228 European ancestry controls, 393 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 58,720 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 2.22 lower (95% confidence interval 2.17-2.27); p = 1 × 10−13.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.23 — in an intron of PER3.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Decreased libido (PheCode 302.1). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Decreased libido (PheCode 302.1). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Decreased libido (PheCode 302.1). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs189355347

What is rs189355347?

rs189355347 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PER3 gene. Published research associates it with decreased libido (phecode 302.1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs189355347 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 rs189355347 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
