Testosterone levels

near PAG1 · rs1445566

What the study found

Who was studied 235,096 European ancestry males.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.021 lower (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.027); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q21.13 — between genes, 26.7 kb from PAG1.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Testosterone levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Testosterone levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G 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 rs1445566

What is rs1445566?

rs1445566 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PAG1 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 rs1445566 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 rs1445566 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.
