Sleep (1/3-day periodicity)

URB2 · rs572888683

What the study found

Who was studied 90,515 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.457 higher (95% confidence interval 0.32-0.59); p = 2 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q42.13 — between genes, 4.5 kb from KIAA1191P3.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Sleep (1/3-day periodicity). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Sleep (1/3-day periodicity). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Sleep (1/3-day periodicity). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs572888683

What is rs572888683?

rs572888683 is a single position in the genome, in or near the URB2 gene. Published research associates it with sleep (1/3-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 rs572888683 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 rs572888683 come from?

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