This study found that Han Chinese women carrying the rs6152A allele had a significantly higher risk of developing polycystic ovary syndrome compared to those with the rs6152GG genotype.
In this study, researchers found that while the SNP rs6152 is strongly associated with androgenetic alopecia, the GGN triplet repeat is not, suggesting the causative variant is likely a non-coding one.
