PAM · rs6889592

What the study found

Who was studied 384,317 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0175 higher (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.023); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 33% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q21.1 — in an intron of PAM.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6889592

What is rs6889592?

rs6889592 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PAM gene. Published research associates it with sleep duration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6889592 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 rs6889592 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30804565. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
