Sex hormone-binding globulin levels

near WDR72 · rs149624078

What the study found

Who was studied 180,726 European ancestry men.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0976 higher (95% confidence interval 0.087-0.108); p = 5 × 10−81.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 99% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q21.3 — between genes, 77.2 kb from WDR72.

What each result means

C/C 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.
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 No copy of the version the research linked to Sex hormone-binding globulin levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs149624078

What is rs149624078?

rs149624078 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near WDR72 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 rs149624078 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 rs149624078 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature medicine 2020, PMID:32042192. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
