rs234706 — CBS C699T
Chromosome 21 Risk Allele A Category Methylation & Detox Methylation, Cardiovascular, Folate, B Vitamins, Homocysteine, Detoxification

Common synonymous variant in the CBS gene associated with reduced cardiovascular disease risk and enhanced response to folate supplementation

rs2653349 — HCRTR2 Ile308Val
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele A Category Neurology & Cognition Sleep, Arousal, Chronotype, Pharmacogenomics, Neurotransmitters, Brain Health

Missense variant at position 308 of the orexin receptor 2 protein; the minor Ile308 allele (A) reduces receptor activity, increasing daytime napping tendency and evening chronotype, while placing the variant directly at a drug target for orexin antagonist sleep medications

Continue reading
rs316019 — SLC22A2 Ala270Ser
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele A Category Pharmacogenomics Drug Metabolism, Pharmacogenomics, Diabetes, Metformin, Kidney

Reduces OCT2 organic cation transporter function in the kidney, lowering metformin renal clearance and conferring partial protection against cisplatin ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity

rs3787348 — PTPN1 PTPN1 intronic variant
Chromosome 20 Risk Allele T Category Blood Sugar & Diabetes Insulin Resistance, Leptin, Obesity, Diabetes, Metabolic Health, Fat Distribution

Intronic PTPN1 tag SNP within the 100-kb insulin-resistance haplotype block; carriers of the T allele show reduced weight loss response to lifestyle intervention and blunted leptin reduction, consistent with elevated PTP1B activity dampening insulin and leptin signaling

Continue reading
rs4307059 — CDH9/CDH10
Chromosome 5 Risk Allele C Category Hormones & Sleep Sleep, Neurological Risk, Cognition, Sensory Processing, Brain Health, Mental Health

Intergenic variant at 5p14.1 between neuronal cell-adhesion genes CDH9 and CDH10, associated with autism spectrum disorder risk and related social-communication and sleep phenotypes

Continue reading
rs4783244 — CDH13
Chromosome 16 Risk Allele T Category Triglycerides & Fatty Acids Fat Metabolism, Cardiovascular, Insulin Resistance, Adipogenesis, Metabolic Syndrome

Intronic CDH13 variant altering T-cadherin expression; T allele carriers have lower circulating adiponectin but improved adiponectin signalling efficiency and better cardiometabolic outcomes

Continue reading
rs7137828 — ATXN2
Chromosome 12 Risk Allele T Category Longevity & Aging Longevity, Aging, Glaucoma, Eye Health, Neurodegeneration, mTOR Pathway

Intronic ATXN2 variant associated with primary open-angle glaucoma risk; T allele elevates odds of glaucoma by ~17% per copy through reduced retinal ganglion cell function

Continue reading
rs2227284 — IL4 IL4 T+2979G
Chromosome 5 Risk Allele T Category Allergy & Atopic Disease Asthma, Inflammation, Immune & Autoimmune, Autoimmune, Immune Function, Infection Risk

Intronic regulatory variant in IL-4, the master Th2 cytokine; the T allele impairs IL-4 transcriptional regulation, elevating Th2-skewed inflammatory tone and increasing susceptibility to asthma, allergic rhinitis, and severe infections, while the G allele is associated with reduced atopic disease risk

Continue reading
rs2736990 — SNCA
Chromosome 4 Risk Allele G Category Neurology & Cognition Neurological Risk, Parkinson's, Neuroprotection, Brain Health, Oxidative Stress, Cognitive Decline

Intronic SNCA variant (intron 4) associated with Parkinson's disease risk and cognitive impairment; the G allele upregulates alpha-synuclein protein levels and is independent of rs356219

Continue reading
rs2838956 — SLC19A1 RFC1 intronic variant
Chromosome 21 Risk Allele G Category Methylation & Detox Methylation, Folate, B Vitamins, Homocysteine, Drug Metabolism

Intronic SLC19A1 variant that tags a haplotype affecting reduced folate carrier expression or splicing, influencing methotrexate transport efficiency and folate uptake across cell membranes

Continue reading
