A/APublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Male-pattern baldness — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/CPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Male-pattern baldness.
C/CPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Male-pattern baldness compared to the general population.

Questions about rs4143530
What is rs4143530?
rs4143530 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ZFHX4 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 rs4143530 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 rs4143530 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 rs4143530 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:30573740. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
