Sex hormone-binding globulin levels

BMF · rs11637595

What the study found

Who was studied 196,901 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0272 lower (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.034); p = 5 × 10−14.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 27% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q15.1 — in an intron of BMF.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11637595

What is rs11637595?

rs11637595 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BMF 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 rs11637595 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 rs11637595 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Endocrinology 2022, PMID:35192695. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
