rs1823125

PAX8

rs1823125 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the PAX8 gene. Genespiral reads it in the Sleep analysis to describe Sleep Duration.

Traits
1 trait across 1 analysis

An rsID such as rs1823125 is the reference number dbSNP assigns to one position in the genome where people commonly differ by a single letter. Raw data exports from 23andMe and AncestryDNA list your two alleles at that position as a genotype - for this marker one of AA, AG, GG. The order of the two letters carries no meaning, so AG and its reverse are the same genotype.

Alleles on this page are written on the forward (plus) strand, matching how consumer raw files report them. Other references sometimes describe the same variant on the opposite strand, which swaps A↔T and C↔G - see why the same variant can look different. The associations below are educational summaries of published research; they are not diagnoses, and the effect of any single SNP is usually modest.

Summary
Variants near PAX8 influence typical nightly sleep duration in adults.
Scientific insights
Each copy of the 'G' allele is associated with slightly longer sleep, so 'GG' individuals tend to sleep longer than 'AA'.
Lifestyle tips
Consider adjusting your sleep routine for optimal rest based on your natural duration tendencies.
