Genetic Determinants of Serum Testosterone Concentrations in Men - 0 views
-
mean serum testosterone concentrations were found to be lower in men with GG than in those with TT genotype for rs12150660
-
men with the CT genotype for rs6258 had lower serum testosterone concentrations than those with CC genotype.
-
The two autosomal SNPs identified by GWAS had a significant influence on the risk of having low serum testosterone (serum testosterone <300 ng/dl) in both the discovery and the replication cohorts with a combined odds ratio (OR) per minor allele of 0.72 (95% CI, 0.65 – 0.79) and 2.7 (95% CI, 2.1 – 3.5) for rs12150660 and rs6258, respectively

The risk of having low serum testosterone concentrations increased by the number of risk alleles with an OR of 1.62 (95% CI, 1.41 – 1.86) for each risk allele (Figure S4). Low serum testosterone concentrations were 6.5-times more prevalent in men with ≥3 risk alleles (30.1% prevalence of low serum testosterone) compared to men without any risk allele (4.6% prevalence of low serum testosterone;

SNP rs5934505 was associated with serum testosterone without SHBG-adjustment (combined p-value of 1.7×10−9) and with free testosterone (combined p-value of 6.7×10−15), but not with SHBG

The mean serum testosterone and calculated free testosterone but not SHBG concentrations were lower in men with T genotype than in those with C genotype for rs5934505
