rs1144566 — RGS16 RGS16 H137R
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele C Category Hormones & Sleep Chronotype, Circadian, Sleep, Hormones, Brain Health

Missense variant in RGS16 that substitutes histidine for arginine at position 137 of the G-protein signaling regulator expressed in the suprachiasmatic nucleus; the common C allele (Arg137, ~97.5% globally) has modestly reduced RGS16 function compared to the rare T allele (His137, ~2.5%), which is associated with morningness through enhanced cAMP gating in the master circadian clock

rs11572325 — CYP2J2
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele T Category Vascular Inflammation & Remodeling Cardiovascular, Heart Disease, Inflammation, Blood Pressure, Omega-3, Pharmacogenomics, Endothelial Health

Intronic CYP2J2 variant associated with increased myocardial infarction risk and female-specific hypertension susceptibility through reduced epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) production

rs1159327 — ESR1 ESR1 intron variant
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele T Category Reproductive Hormones Estrogen, Bone Health, Fertility, Reproductive Health, Women's Health

Intronic variant in estrogen receptor alpha associated with bone mineral density; the T allele is linked to lower BMD and may influence ESR1 expression in bone and reproductive tissues

rs11842874 — MCF2L
Chromosome 13 Risk Allele A Category Fitness & Body Joints, Injury Risk, Inflammation, Fitness, Cartilage, Bone & Joint, Chronic Pain

Intronic variant in MCF2L that acts as a synovial eQTL — A allele carriers have higher MCF2L expression in joint tissue and elevated osteoarthritis risk across large joints

rs121434282 — ACADM Arg281Thr
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele C Category Metabolic Enzymes & Rare Disorders Fat Metabolism, Energy Metabolism, Carrier Status, Metabolic, Mitochondria, Genetic Counseling

Pathogenic missense variant in the MCAD enzyme causing medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency — an autosomal recessive disorder of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation leading to hypoketotic hypoglycemia and metabolic crisis during fasting or illness

rs121918393 — APOE Christchurch (R136S)
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele C Category Longevity & Aging Alzheimer's, Longevity, Aging, Cardiovascular, Cholesterol, Inflammation

Ultra-rare APOE3 missense variant that dramatically reduces HSPG binding and tau propagation, conferring near-complete resistance to Alzheimer's disease in the homozygous state and a modest protective delay in heterozygotes

Continue reading
rs121918476 — PROS1 Arg561Trp
Chromosome 3 Risk Allele A Category Von Willebrand & Anticoagulant Proteins Thrombophilia, Blood Clotting, Cardiovascular, Blood Thinners, Thrombosis

Pathogenic PROS1 missense variant in the SHBG-like domain that impairs protein S secretion; heterozygotes have reduced protein S activity and a substantially elevated risk of venous thromboembolism requiring specialist evaluation

Continue reading
rs12478601 — THADA THADA PCOS/Insulin Resistance
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele C Category Fertility & Ovarian Function PCOS, Fertility, Insulin Resistance, Reproductive Health, Hormones, Metabolic Syndrome

Intronic variant in THADA (thyroid adenoma associated) on chromosome 2p21; the C allele is a PCOS risk allele at the THADA locus (companion tag SNP to rs13429458, the original Han Chinese GWAS lead), tagging a haplotype that reduces THADA-mediated SERCA uncoupling, impairing ER calcium homeostasis in pancreatic beta cells and predisposing to PCOS and insulin secretion defects

Continue reading
rs12730735 — PTPN22
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele C Category Autoimmune Tolerance & T-Cell Regulation Autoimmune, Immune System, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Thyroid, T-Cell Regulation, B-Cell Signaling

Intronic PTPN22 haplotype tag variant that refines autoimmune risk stratification beyond R620W and associates independently with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in Asian populations

Continue reading
rs1279683 — SLC23A2
Chromosome 20 Risk Allele G Category Vitamins & Nutrient Absorption Vitamin C, Vitamins, Eye Health, Micronutrients, Cognition

Intronic variant in the SVCT2 vitamin C transporter — G allele associated with lower plasma vitamin C, higher glaucoma risk, and modified cognitive decline risk in APOE4 carriers
