Sex hormone-binding globulin levels

NFIC · rs60018147

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 370,125 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0133 higher (95% confidence interval 0.01-0.016); p = 1 × 10⁻¹⁹.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 12% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.3 — in an intron of NFIC.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Sex hormone-binding globulin levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Sex hormone-binding globulin levels.

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Sex hormone-binding globulin levels compared to the general population.

Questions about rs60018147

What is rs60018147?

rs60018147 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NFIC 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 rs60018147 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 rs60018147 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.
