near ALDH7A1P4 · rs224029

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 651,923 European ancestry males, 679,087 European ancestry females.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.04 times the odds of Insomnia (95% confidence interval 1.03-1.05); p = 3 × 10⁻¹⁰.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q21.2 — between genes, 18.2 kb from ALDH7A1P4.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Insomnia compared to the general population.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Insomnia.

T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Insomnia — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs224029

What is rs224029?

rs224029 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ALDH7A1P4 gene. Published research associates it with insomnia. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs224029 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Insomnia. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs224029 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 rs224029 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30804565. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
