near RNU6-394P · rs141086308

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 C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 98% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq12 — between genes, 1.5 kb from RNU6-394P.

What each result means

C/C 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.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Low testosterone levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Low testosterone levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs141086308

What is rs141086308?

rs141086308 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RNU6-394P 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 rs141086308 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 rs141086308 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.
