rs13181 — ERCC2 Lys751Gln
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele G Category Longevity & Aging DNA Repair, Longevity, Aging, Cancer Risk, Oxidative Stress, Detoxification

Missense variant in the XPD helicase that reduces nucleotide excision repair capacity, increasing susceptibility to DNA damage from UV, tobacco smoke, and environmental carcinogens

rs137852641 — NOTCH3
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele A Category Vascular Inflammation & Remodeling Cardiovascular, Neurodegeneration, Dementia, Heart Disease, Genetic Counseling, Cognitive Decline

Pathogenic NOTCH3 missense variant p.Arg332Cys that alters the cysteine count in EGF-like repeat 6, causing CADASIL — the most common inherited cause of ischemic stroke and vascular dementia

Continue reading
rs137852690 — STAR A218V
Chromosome 8 Risk Allele A Category Reproductive Hormones Steroid Hormones, Steroid Metabolism, Carrier Status, Congenital, Fertility, Reproductive Health

STAR missense variant abolishing steroidogenic activity; homozygous carriers develop lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia with absent cortisol, aldosterone, and sex hormone production

rs137852769 — HADHA p.Glu510Gln
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele G Category Metabolic Enzymes & Rare Disorders Fat Metabolism, Mitochondria, Metabolic, Carrier Status, Cardiovascular, Energy Metabolism

Most common LCHAD deficiency variant; homozygosity causes severe mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid oxidation failure with cardiomyopathy, rhabdomyolysis, and neuropathy; carrier mothers of affected fetuses risk maternal HELLP syndrome and acute fatty liver of pregnancy

Continue reading
rs1420318 — FTO
Chromosome 16 Risk Allele A Category Fitness & Body Fat Metabolism, Obesity, Bone Health, Alcohol, Metabolic

FTO intron 8 variant associated with nominal spine bone mineral density effects and alcohol dependence susceptibility; low LD with the rs9939609 obesity cluster

Continue reading
rs1501299 — ADIPOQ +276G>T
Chromosome 3 Risk Allele T Category Coronary Artery Disease & Atherosclerosis Cardiovascular, Diabetes, Insulin, Fat Metabolism, Diet, Inflammation

Intronic variant in the adiponectin gene that influences circulating adiponectin levels, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic response to diet; the T allele is associated with lower adiponectin and higher insulin resistance

Continue reading
rs16147 — NPY C-399T
Chromosome 7 Risk Allele C Category Mood & Behavior Stress Response, Appetite, Obesity, Pain Sensitivity, Cardiovascular, Neurotransmitters

Promoter variant in neuropeptide Y that modulates NPY expression under stress, affecting stress resilience, anxiety vulnerability, appetite regulation, and migraine susceptibility

rs17166496 — FSTL4 FSTL4 rs17166496
Chromosome 5 Risk Allele C Category Appetite & Obesity Type 1 Diabetes, Autoimmune, Immune Function, Diabetes, Inflammation

Intronic variant in FSTL4 (Follistatin-Like 4) on chromosome 5q31; heterozygous GC carriers show a ~23% reduction in type 1 diabetes risk in the WTCCC genome-wide association study, though the 5q31 causal gene remains disputed due to extensive regional linkage disequilibrium

Continue reading
rs174535 — MYRF
Chromosome 11 Risk Allele C Category Triglycerides & Fatty Acids Omega-3, Fat Metabolism, Cardiovascular, Diet, Vitamins

Missense variant in the MYRF/FADS gene cluster region on chromosome 11 associated with circulating omega-3 PUFA and DHA levels; the C allele is linked to lower serum omega-3 and DHA concentrations, likely through linkage disequilibrium with the nearby FADS1/FADS2 desaturase cluster

Continue reading
rs17728338 — TNIP1 TNIP1/ABIN1 variant
Chromosome 5 Risk Allele A Category Psoriasis & Spondyloarthropathy Autoimmune, Inflammation, Psoriasis, Skin, Skin Health, Anti-TNF Biologics

Intergenic regulatory variant near TNIP1 whose A allele reduces ABIN1-mediated NF-kB braking, conferring OR=1.69 for psoriasis per allele and substantially elevated generalized pustular psoriasis risk in homozygous carriers
