Male-pattern baldness

LINC01432 · rs17752365

What the study found

Who was studied 52,874 British ancestry males.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0717 higher; p = 2 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20p11.22 — in an intron of LINC01432.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17752365

What is rs17752365?

rs17752365 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC01432 gene. Published research associates it with male-pattern baldness. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17752365 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 rs17752365 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2017, PMID:28196072. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
