What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Chronotype — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Chronotype.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Chronotype compared to the general population.

Questions about rs9961653

What is rs9961653?

rs9961653 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RAX gene. Published research associates it with chronotype. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs9961653 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Sleep and Circadian Rhythm. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs9961653 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 rs9961653 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2016, PMID:27494321. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
