Sex hormone-binding globulin levels adjusted for BMI

RNF212B · rs75170914

What the study found

Who was studied 180,094 European ancestry men.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0125 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0099-0.0151); p = 5 × 10−26.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 26% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q11.2 — in an intron of RNF212B.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Sex hormone-binding globulin levels adjusted for BMI. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Sex hormone-binding globulin levels adjusted for BMI. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Sex hormone-binding globulin levels adjusted for BMI. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs75170914

What is rs75170914?

rs75170914 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RNF212B gene. Published research associates it with sex hormone-binding globulin levels adjusted for bmi. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs75170914 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 rs75170914 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.
