Leisure screen time

near RPL17P35 · rs68049022

What the study found

Who was studied 526,725 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.031 lower (95% confidence interval 0.021-0.041); p = 6 × 10−11.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q21.3 — between genes, 26.3 kb from RPL17P35.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Leisure screen time. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Leisure screen time. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Leisure screen time. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs68049022

What is rs68049022?

rs68049022 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPL17P35 gene. Published research associates it with leisure screen time. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs68049022 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 rs68049022 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2022, PMID:36071172. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
