Sex hormone-binding globulin levels

SHBG · rs111901268

What the study found

Who was studied 2,960 African American or Afro-Caribbean males.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.183 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.24); p = 4 × 10−11.

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

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Sex hormone-binding globulin 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 Sex hormone-binding globulin levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Sex hormone-binding globulin levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs111901268

What is rs111901268?

rs111901268 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SHBG gene. Published research associates it with sex hormone-binding globulin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs111901268 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 rs111901268 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40316537. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
