rs492602 — FUT2 FUT2 secretor status proxy
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele A Category IBD & Mucosal Immunity Secretor Status, Gut Microbiome, Autoimmune, Crohn's Disease, Psoriasis, IBD

A synonymous FUT2 proxy variant in strong LD with the W143X nonsense allele (rs601338), tagging secretor status and associated with Crohn's disease susceptibility, psoriasis risk, and gut microbiome composition; the G allele marks the secretor phenotype

rs61750630 — VWF C2362F
Chromosome 12 Risk Allele A Category Von Willebrand & Anticoagulant Proteins Blood Clotting, Cardiovascular, Carrier Status, Thrombosis, Genetic Counseling, Thrombophilia

Pathogenic missense variant in von Willebrand factor causing intracellular retention of the mutant protein; homozygosity causes severe type 3 von Willebrand disease, heterozygous carriers typically have reduced VWF levels and mild bleeding symptoms

rs6757908 — EIF2AK3-AS1
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele G Category Endometriosis & Uterine Health Endometriosis, Fertility, Reproductive Health, Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, Stress Response

Rare intronic variant in EIF2AK3-AS1, an antisense long non-coding RNA that regulates expression of EIF2AK3 (PERK), the kinase mediating the endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; PERK pathway activation is documented in endometriotic tissue, linking ER stress to ectopic lesion survival and ovarian damage in endometriosis

rs7152376 — NFKBIA
Chromosome 14 Risk Allele C Category Psoriasis & Spondyloarthropathy Autoimmune, Psoriasis, Arthritis, Inflammation, Bone & Joint, Biologic Therapy

Regulatory variant upstream of NFKBIA that specifically elevates risk of psoriatic arthritis over skin-only psoriasis, with a 3.2-fold odds ratio distinguishing arthritic from cutaneous-only disease in psoriasis patients

Continue reading
rs725613 — CLEC16A
Chromosome 16 Risk Allele T Category Autoimmune Tolerance & T-Cell Regulation Autoimmune, Type 1 Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, Autophagy, T-Cell Regulation, Immune Function

Intronic variant in the autophagy regulator CLEC16A that alters thymic T-cell selection and immune tolerance, influencing risk for type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis

rs7679916 — SLC2A9
Chromosome 4 Risk Allele T Category Uric Acid & Kidney Function Gout, Uric Acid, Kidney Function, Diet, Cardiovascular

Regulatory upstream variant in the SLC2A9 promoter region; the T allele is associated with modestly elevated serum uric acid in some populations, while the C allele may confer partial protection; independent of the major coding variants at this locus and likely acts through altered GLUT9 transcriptional regulation

rs80358216 — HSD3B2 Trp171X
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele A Category Reproductive Hormones Steroid Hormones, Steroid Metabolism, Reproductive Health, Carrier Status, Congenital, Cortisol

Pathogenic nonsense variant introducing a premature stop codon at position 171 of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type II, abolishing conversion of Δ5-steroids to Δ4-steroids in adrenal glands and gonads; homozygotes develop severe salt-wasting congenital adrenal hyperplasia with deficiency of cortisol, aldosterone, and sex steroids.

rs841 — GCH1
Chromosome 14 Risk Allele A Category Blood Pressure & Hypertension Nitric Oxide, Endothelial Health, Cardiovascular, Hypertension, Heart Disease, Inflammation

Intronic/3'UTR GCH1 variant tagging reduced tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) synthesis capacity; the A allele associates with endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and impaired nitric oxide production, with sex-specific effects on blood pressure

Continue reading
rs167769 — STAT6
Chromosome 12 Risk Allele T Category Allergy & Atopic Disease JAK-STAT Signaling, Inflammation, Autoimmune, Asthma, Skin Health, T-Cell Regulation

Intronic variant in STAT6 (intron 2) that forms a functional haplotype with rs324011; the T allele increases STAT6 promoter activity and is associated with elevated serum IgE, atopic dermatitis, eczema herpeticum susceptibility, and eosinophilic esophagitis relapse through enhanced Th2 signaling

Continue reading
rs17649553 — MAPT H1/H2 Haplotype Tag
Chromosome 17 Risk Allele T Category Neurology & Cognition Neurological Risk, Parkinson's, Dementia, Alzheimer's, Brain Health, Aging

Haplotype-tagging variant distinguishing MAPT H1 and H2 clades, affecting risk for Parkinson disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, and other tauopathies
