rs1805011 — IL4R IL4R Glu375Ala
Chromosome 16 Risk Allele C Category Allergy & Atopic Disease Immune System, Immune Response, Asthma, Inflammation, Skin Health

Missense variant in the extracellular domain of the IL-4 receptor alpha chain that alters Th2 immune signaling, associated with atopic asthma, rhinitis, and altered IgE responsiveness

rs1805087 — MTR A2756G
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele G Category Methylation & Detox Methylation, B Vitamins, Homocysteine

Methionine synthase — uses B12 to convert homocysteine to methionine

rs2078371 — TSPAN2
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele C Category Neurology & Cognition Migraine, Chronic Pain, Pain Sensitivity, Neuroinflammation, Brain Health, Pain Management

Regulatory variant in the TSPAN2/NGF locus on chromosome 1p13; the C allele is one of the largest-effect migraine risk variants identified in the genome, with particular elevation of risk for migraine without aura through a peripheral trigeminal sensitization mechanism driven by nerve growth factor signalling

rs2233580 — PAX4 Arg192His
Chromosome 7 Risk Allele T Category Blood Sugar & Diabetes Diabetes, Insulin, Metabolic, Energy Metabolism, Ancestry-Specific, Insulin Resistance

Missense variant that impairs PAX4's ability to repress insulin and glucagon promoters, reducing beta-cell mass and insulin secretion capacity; strongly associated with type 2 diabetes and younger age of onset in East and Southeast Asian populations

Continue reading
rs2289669 — SLC47A1 MATE1 G-1853A
Chromosome 17 Risk Allele A Category Pharmacogenomics Drug Metabolism, Pharmacogenomics, Diabetes, Metformin

Intronic variant in MATE1, the renal and hepatic metformin efflux transporter; the A allele reduces tubular secretion, prolongs metformin retention, and enhances glucose-lowering response in type 2 diabetes

rs2675703 — OPN4
Chromosome 10 Risk Allele T Category Hormones & Sleep Circadian, Sleep, Mood, Melatonin, Depression

Missense variant (Pro10Leu) in melanopsin, the photopigment driving circadian photoentrainment; TT carriers show altered light-signaling amplitude and elevated seasonal affective disorder risk

Continue reading
rs2959272 — PPARG PPARG intronic calorie-restriction trial variant
Chromosome 3 Risk Allele G Category Fat Storage & Energy Fat Metabolism, Adipogenesis, Diet, Energy Metabolism, Obesity, Metabolic Health

Intronic PPARG variant significantly associated with individual variation in body weight reduction during calorie restriction; G allele also linked to elevated plasma renin activity, suggesting altered PPARγ-mediated adipose-renin axis signalling

Continue reading
rs3758391 — SIRT1
Chromosome 10 Risk Allele T Category Longevity & Aging Longevity, Aging, Oxidative Stress, Neuroprotection, NAD+ Metabolism, Insulin Resistance

Promoter-region variant in SIRT1 affecting deacetylase expression; T allele elevates SIRT1 levels and is associated with better cognition but increased metabolic and cancer risk; C allele is the common protective form

Continue reading
rs4855559 — MYH15
Chromosome 3 Risk Allele T Category Cardiomyopathy & Structural Heart Cardiovascular, Endothelial Health, Heart Disease, Nitric Oxide, Anxiety

Intronic variant in the myosin heavy chain 15 gene associated with impaired coronary microvascular function and abnormal coronary flow reserve in men (OR 2.27)

Continue reading
rs61735836 — FTCD
Chromosome 21 Risk Allele T Category Vitamins & Nutrient Absorption Methylation, Folate, B Vitamins, Detoxification, Diet

Missense variant in the FTCD enzyme that impairs one-carbon unit transfer from histidine catabolism into the folate pool, reducing arsenic methylation efficiency and increasing toxicity risk
