DNAH2 · rs117387630

What the study found

Who was studied 13,409 European ancestry male cases, 98,267 European ancestry male controls; replicated in 4,426 European ancestry male cases, 32,800 European ancestry male controls.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 4 × 10−40.

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 DNAH2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs117387630

What is rs117387630?

rs117387630 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DNAH2 gene. Published research associates it with low testosterone levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs117387630 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 rs117387630 come from?

GWAS Catalog, European urology open science 2021, PMID:34337532. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
