Who was studied 3,891 European ancestry cases, 8,915 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele carried 1.29 times the odds of Male-pattern baldness (95% confidence interval 1.20-1.38); p = 1 × 10−12.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 53% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p21.1 — in an intron of HDAC9.
What each result means
G/GTwo 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.
G/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Male-pattern baldness. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Male-pattern baldness. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2073963
What is rs2073963?
rs2073963 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HDAC9 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.
What conditions is rs2073963 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Androgenetic Alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs2073963 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 rs2073963 come from?
GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2012, PMID:22693459. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
