is a SNP in the sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) gene. SHBG binds steroid hormones, mostly testosterone and estradiol, rendering them biologically unavailable.

[PMID 19064566OA-icon.png] Ten SNPs within or close to the SHBG gene were significantly associated with SHBG levels as was the (TAAAA)(n) polymorphism. The best-fitting combination of rs6259, rs858521, and rs727428 and body mass index, waist, hip, age, and smoking status accounted for 24% of the variance in SHBG levels (natural logarithm transformed).
