Where this position leads

Condition: Restless Legs Syndrome

rs3738555 Condition: Restless Legs Syndrome Restless Legs Syndrome Condition rs3738555 rs3738555 DAB1

What the study found

Who was studied 78,333 European ancestry female cases, 844,872 European ancestry female controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0485 lower (95% confidence interval 0.033-0.063); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 84% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p32.2 — in an intron of DAB1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3738555

What is rs3738555?

rs3738555 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DAB1 gene. Published research associates it with restless legs syndrome. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs3738555 linked to?

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

Does having rs3738555 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 rs3738555 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38839884. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
