DHEAS levels

near FAM200A · rs10278040

What the study found

Who was studied 4,301 European ancestry men, 3,358 European ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.19 lower (95% confidence interval 0.15-0.23); p = 6 × 10−18.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q22.1 — between genes, 2.5 kb from FAM200A.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to DHEAS levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to DHEAS levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to DHEAS levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs10278040

What is rs10278040?

rs10278040 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near FAM200A gene. Published research associates it with dheas levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10278040 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 rs10278040 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism 2019, PMID:31169883. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
