Who was studied 34,658 European American cases, 167,346 European American controls, 17,267 African American cases, 39,381 African American controls, 3,449 Latino American cases, 10,726 Latino American controls, 164 East Asian American cases, 1,210 East Asian American controls, 46 South Asian American cases, 144 South Asian American controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 6.49 z score lower; p = 9 × 10−11.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 41% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p21 — between genes, 9.7 kb from LINC01833.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Alcohol use disorder. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Alcohol use disorder. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Alcohol use disorder. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs540606
What is rs540606?
rs540606 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SIX3 gene. Published research associates it with alcohol use disorder. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs540606 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Alcohol Use Disorder. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs540606 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 rs540606 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:30940813. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
