Sex hormone-binding globulin levels

TFEB · rs13217983

What the study found

Who was studied 158,000 British ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 1.41 nmol/L lower (95% confidence interval 1.02-1.8); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.1 — in an intron of TFEB.

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 rs13217983

What is rs13217983?

rs13217983 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TFEB 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 rs13217983 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 rs13217983 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science advances 2021, PMID:34321204. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
