Testosterone levels (UKB data field 30850)

SHBG · rs11078701

What the study found

Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.074 lower (95% confidence interval 0.063-0.085); p = 2 × 10−38.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.1 — in an intron of SHBG.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Testosterone levels (UKB data field 30850) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Testosterone levels (UKB data field 30850).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Testosterone levels (UKB data field 30850) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs11078701

What is rs11078701?

rs11078701 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SHBG gene. Published research associates it with testosterone levels (ukb data field 30850). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11078701 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 rs11078701 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
