Marker

rs12150660

rs12150660 is a common marker inside the SHBG gene. Each T copy is linked to more SHBG in the blood. A strongly linked marker was also associated with less calculated free testosterone in both men and women. The studies calculated free testosterone from total testosterone, SHBG, and albumin; they did not directly measure it. This marker cannot determine a person's hormone level, symptoms, or treatment needs. The reviewed effect estimates come primarily from European-ancestry cohorts, so customer delivery requires an ancestry gate.
