Condition: Restless Legs Syndrome

rs61875279 Condition: Restless Legs Syndrome Restless Legs Syndrome Condition rs61875279 rs61875279 R3HCC1L

What the study found

Who was studied 116,647 European ancestry cases, 1,546,466 European ancestry controls; replicated in 29,028 cases, 398,815 controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0401 lower (95% confidence interval 0.029-0.051); p = 3 × 10−13.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q24.2 — in an intron of R3HCC1L.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs61875279

What is rs61875279?

rs61875279 is a single position in the genome, in or near the R3HCC1L 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 rs61875279 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 rs61875279 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 rs61875279 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.
