rs9900518
MEIS1rs9900518 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the MEIS1 gene. Genespiral reads it in the Sleep analysis to describe Insomnia Susceptibility.

An rsID such as rs9900518 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.
Insomnia Susceptibility
Sleep Disorders · Part of the Sleep analysis
Involved in neural signaling pathways, potentially impacting insomnia risk.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| AA | Higher susceptibility to insomnia |
| AG | Moderate susceptibility |
| GG | Lower susceptibility |
- Summary
- MEIS1 variations can influence an individual’s tendency towards insomnia.
- Scientific insights
- 'AA' individuals are more susceptible to insomnia, especially under stress.
- Lifestyle tips
- Creating a relaxing pre-sleep routine may help in managing insomnia symptoms.
