Leisure screen time

ZBTB20 · rs9867121

What the study found

Who was studied 526,725 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.032 lower (95% confidence interval 0.022-0.042); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q13.31 — in an intron of ZBTB20.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Leisure screen time. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Leisure screen time. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs9867121

What is rs9867121?

rs9867121 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZBTB20 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 rs9867121 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 rs9867121 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.
