Sleep duration

SEMA6D · rs8038326

What the study found

Who was studied 446,118 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 47,180 adults, 10,554 children or adolescents.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.906 higher; p = 1 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q21.1 — in an intron of SEMA6D.

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 rs8038326

What is rs8038326?

rs8038326 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SEMA6D 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 rs8038326 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 rs8038326 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:30846698. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
