POU3F4 · rs213462

What the study found

Who was studied 449,734 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 248,098 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 5 × 10−12.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 45% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq21.1 — between genes, 58.8 kb from POU3F4.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs213462

What is rs213462?

rs213462 is a single position in the genome, in or near the POU3F4 gene. Published research associates it with chronotype. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs213462 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 rs213462 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:30696823. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
