Bioavailable testosterone levels

near VMA21 · rs5970021

What the study found

Who was studied 382,988 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0111 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0079-0.0144); p = 5 × 10−12.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq28 — between genes, 38.3 kb from VMA21.

What each result means

C/C 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.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Bioavailable testosterone levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Bioavailable testosterone levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs5970021

What is rs5970021?

rs5970021 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near VMA21 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 rs5970021 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 rs5970021 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.
