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 0.0873 higher (95% confidence interval 0.078-0.096); p = 3 × 10−80.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 66% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q22.1 — between genes, 11.1 kb from RN7SKP212.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Restless legs syndrome. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/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 rs6439256

What is rs6439256?

rs6439256 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RN7SKP212 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 rs6439256 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 rs6439256 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 rs6439256 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.
