The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.304 lower; p = 4 × 10−22.
Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq12 — in an intron of OPHN1.
What each result means
A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Male-pattern baldness compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Male-pattern baldness.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Male-pattern baldness — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs73212868
What is rs73212868?
rs73212868 is a single position in the genome, in or near the OPHN1 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 rs73212868 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 rs73212868 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 rs73212868 come from?
GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2017, PMID:28196072. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
