Testosterone levels

near RPL7P19 · rs12719514

What the study found

Who was studied 235,096 European ancestry males.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0185 lower (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.024); p = 5 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 45% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q31.2 — between genes, 13.2 kb from RPL7P19.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12719514

What is rs12719514?

rs12719514 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPL7P19 gene. Published research associates it with 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 rs12719514 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 rs12719514 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:40229599. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
