Total testosterone levels

near RNU1-98P · rs2824138

What the study found

Who was studied 230,454 European ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.026 higher (95% confidence interval 0.019-0.033); p = 2 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 21, band 21q21.1 — between genes, 203 kb from RNU1-98P.

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 rs2824138

What is rs2824138?

rs2824138 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RNU1-98P 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 rs2824138 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 rs2824138 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature medicine 2020, PMID:32042192. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
