What the study found

Who was studied 228,926 European ancestry cases, 1,611,415 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0459 higher (95% confidence interval 0.035-0.057); p = 4 × 10−15.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q31.32 — between genes, 18.6 kb from SPAM1.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Atrial fibrillation — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Atrial fibrillation.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Atrial fibrillation compared to the general population.

Questions about rs12671215

What is rs12671215?

rs12671215 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SPAM1 gene. Published research associates it with atrial fibrillation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs12671215 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Atrial Fibrillation. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs12671215 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs12671215 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40645996. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
