Rs5770917

rs5770917, a SNP located between the CPT1B and CHKB genes, was associated with narcolepsy in study of 222 Japanese individuals with narcolepsy and 389 Japanese controls, with replication of top hits in 159 Japanese individuals with narcolepsy and 190 Japanese controls, followed by the testing of 424 Koreans, 785 individuals of European descent and 184 African Americans. The risk allele rs5770917(C) had an odds ratio of 1.79 (p = 4.4 x 10e-7) in Japanese subjects and an odds ratio of 1.40 (p = 0.02) in other ancestry groups.

Note that rs5770917 is in tight linkage (r2 > 0.93) with several nearby SNPs: rs2269382 and rs2269381.
