Sex hormone-binding globulin levels

FLJ40194 · rs73340354

What the study found

Who was studied 148,248 British ancestry men.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.71 nmol/L higher (95% confidence interval 0.53-0.89); p = 4 × 10−14.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.32 — inside FLJ40194.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs73340354

What is rs73340354?

rs73340354 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FLJ40194 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 rs73340354 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 rs73340354 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science advances 2021, PMID:34321204. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
