rs1160312
EDA2Rrs1160312 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the EDA2R gene. Genespiral reads it in the Appearance analysis to describe Male Pattern Baldness.

- 1 trait across 1 analysis
An rsID such as rs1160312 is the reference number dbSNP assigns to one position in the genome where people commonly differ by a single letter. Raw data exports from 23andMe and AncestryDNA list your two alleles at that position as a genotype - for this marker one of AA, AG, GG. The order of the two letters carries no meaning, so AG and its reverse are the same genotype.
Alleles on this page are written on the forward (plus) strand, matching how consumer raw files report them. Other references sometimes describe the same variant on the opposite strand, which swaps A↔T and C↔G - see why the same variant can look different. The associations below are educational summaries of published research; they are not diagnoses, and the effect of any single SNP is usually modest.
Male Pattern Baldness
Appearance · Part of the Appearance analysis
Linked to androgen receptor activity, affecting male pattern hair loss.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| AA | Increased Risk |
| AG | Moderate Risk |
| GG | Lower Risk |
- Summary
- EDA2R gene variations contribute to susceptibility to male pattern baldness.
- Scientific insights
- 'AA' genotype individuals may experience earlier onset and more extensive hair loss.
- Lifestyle tips
- Minoxidil and other treatments may help slow hair loss progression.
