Male puberty timing (late vs. average onset facial hair)

KANSL1 · rs2222746

What the study found

Who was studied 26,066 European ancestry late onset individuals, 161,175 European ancestry average onset individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0165 years higher (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.019); p = 2 × 10−30.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.31 — in an intron of KANSL1.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Male puberty timing (late vs. average onset facial hair). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Male puberty timing (late vs. average onset facial hair). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Male puberty timing (late vs. average onset facial hair). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2222746

What is rs2222746?

rs2222746 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KANSL1 gene. Published research associates it with male puberty timing (late vs. average onset facial hair). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2222746 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 rs2222746 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:32210231. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
