near AKR1C2 · rs36032941

What the study found

Who was studied 230,454 European ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0628 higher (95% confidence interval 0.057-0.069); p = 3 × 10−94.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 70% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p15.1 — between genes, 2.5 kb from AKR1C2.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Total testosterone levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Total testosterone levels.
C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Total testosterone levels compared to the general population.

Questions about rs36032941

What is rs36032941?

rs36032941 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near AKR1C2 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 rs36032941 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 rs36032941 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.
