Leisure screen time

INKA2 · rs197439

What the study found

Who was studied 526,725 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.026 lower (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.034); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 60% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p13.2 — in an intron of INKA2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Leisure screen time. 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 Leisure screen time. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Leisure screen time. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs197439

What is rs197439?

rs197439 is a single position in the genome, in or near the INKA2 gene. Published research associates it with leisure screen time. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs197439 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 rs197439 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2022, PMID:36071172. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
