Nathan Goodyear on 20 Feb 12men with UGT2B17 found to be poor metabolizers of endogenous Testosterone. Normally, epi-Testosterone and Testosterone exist in a relative 1:1 ratio, However, in these individuals with this SNP, they will have slightly elevated Testosterone levels due to disrupted phase II testosterone metabolism (glucuronidation). This is found in 60% of Asian men, 50% of black men, and 1% in white men.
