Bioavailable testosterone levels

NBDY · rs5913997

What the study found

Who was studied 178,782 European ancestry men.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0526 higher (95% confidence interval 0.047-0.058); p = 9 × 10−90.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xp11.21 — in an intron of NBDY.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Bioavailable testosterone levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Bioavailable testosterone levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Bioavailable testosterone levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs5913997

What is rs5913997?

rs5913997 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NBDY gene. Published research associates it with bioavailable 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 rs5913997 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 rs5913997 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.
