Sleep (1/2-day periodicity)

ERCC2 · rs3916862

What the study found

Who was studied 90,515 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.483 higher (95% confidence interval 0.31-0.65); p = 2 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.32 — in an intron of ERCC2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Sleep (1/2-day periodicity) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Sleep (1/2-day periodicity).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Sleep (1/2-day periodicity) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs3916862

What is rs3916862?

rs3916862 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ERCC2 gene. Published research associates it with sleep (1/2-day periodicity). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3916862 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 rs3916862 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2020, PMID:33075057. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
