Total testosterone levels

DIPK1A · rs189989334

What the study found

Who was studied 95,184 European ancestry males, 27,521 African American or Afro-Caribbean males, 13,443 Admixed American ancestry males, 1,836 East Asian ancestry males.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.348 lower (95% confidence interval 0.23-0.47); p = 2 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p22.1 — in an intron of DIPK1A.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs189989334

What is rs189989334?

rs189989334 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DIPK1A gene. Published research associates it with total 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 rs189989334 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 rs189989334 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40316537. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
