Sex hormone-binding globulin levels

MAST3 · rs273492

What the study found

Who was studied 158,000 British ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 1.08 nmol/L lower (95% confidence interval 0.77-1.39); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 25% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.11 — in an intron of MAST3.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Sex hormone-binding globulin levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G 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 rs273492

What is rs273492?

rs273492 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MAST3 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 rs273492 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 rs273492 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science advances 2021, PMID:34321204. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
