Who was studied 25,662 British ancestry cases, 17,928 British ancestry controls; replicated in 13,367 European ancestry cases, 11,851 European ancestry controls, 3,436 cases, 2,435 controls.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.109 higher (95% confidence interval 0.08-0.137); p = 9 × 10−14.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q21 — between genes, 69.7 kb from LOC105377923.
What each result means
A/ANo copy of the version the research linked to Male-pattern baldness. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Male-pattern baldness. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GTwo copies of the version the research linked to Male-pattern baldness. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12214131
What is rs12214131?
rs12214131 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PRDM1 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 rs12214131 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 rs12214131 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 rs12214131 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:29146897. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
