Trait: sex hormone-binding globulin measurement

Experimental Factor Ontology (EFO) Information
Identifier EFO_0004696
Description Is a quantification of sex hormone binding globulin. In men the test is used in when investigating testosterone deficiency. The SHBG glycoprotein binds to circulating estradiol and testosterone, low levels of SHBG may be implicated in breast cancer etiology.
