near M6PRP1 · rs5942976

What the study found

Who was studied 13,893 European ancestry males, 2,960 African American or Afro-Caribbean males, 2,081 Admixed American ancestry males, 471 East Asian ancestry males.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0765 higher (95% confidence interval 0.063-0.09); p = 5 × 10−28.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq23 — between genes, 49.9 kb from M6PRP1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Sex hormone-binding globulin levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/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 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.

Questions about rs5942976

What is rs5942976?

rs5942976 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near M6PRP1 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 rs5942976 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 rs5942976 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40316537. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
