Fibrinogen levels

SPPL2A · rs12913259

Where this position leads

Condition: Fibrinogen and Blood Clotting

What the study found

Who was studied 120,246 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0068 lower; p = 2 × 10⁻¹².

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 30% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q21.2 — in an intron of SPPL2A.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Fibrinogen levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Fibrinogen levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Fibrinogen levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12913259

What is rs12913259?

rs12913259 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SPPL2A gene. Published research associates it with fibrinogen levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs12913259 linked to?

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

Does having rs12913259 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 rs12913259 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2015, PMID:26561523. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
