What the study found

Who was studied 52,874 British ancestry males.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0786 higher; p = 2 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 21, band 21q22.3 — between genes, 33.8 kb from CRYAA.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Male-pattern baldness. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Male-pattern baldness. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Male-pattern baldness. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs75732647

What is rs75732647?

rs75732647 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CRYAA 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 rs75732647 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 rs75732647 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 rs75732647 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.
