Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 10,846 European ancestry cases, 11,672 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.21 lower (95% confidence interval 0.17-0.25); p = 9 × 10−21.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 27% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q12.3 — in an intron of SLC14A2.
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 rs12606816
What is rs12606816?
rs12606816 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC14A2 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.
Does having rs12606816 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 rs12606816 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2017, PMID:28272467. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
