What the study found

Who was studied 52,874 British ancestry males.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0896 lower; p = 1 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p11.22 — between genes, 19.3 kb from PTHLH.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Male-pattern baldness compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Male-pattern baldness.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Male-pattern baldness — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs11049231

What is rs11049231?

rs11049231 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PTHLH gene. Published research associates it with male-pattern baldness. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11049231 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Androgenetic Alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs11049231 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 rs11049231 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2017, PMID:28196072. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
