EBF1 · rs929626
Where this position leads
What the study found
Who was studied 52,874 British ancestry males.
The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.08 lower; p = 4 × 10−40.
Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q33.3 — in an intron of EBF1.
rs929626 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EBF1 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.
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.
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.
