What the study found

Who was studied 91,105 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0328 SD units higher (95% confidence interval 0.022-0.044); p = 3 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 77% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.31 — in an intron of MAPT.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1991556

What is rs1991556?

rs1991556 is a single position in the genome, in or near the STH 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 rs1991556 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 rs1991556 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 rs1991556 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:30531941. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
