rs34612342 — MUTYH Y179C
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele C Category Cancer Risk Cancer Risk, DNA Repair, Base Excision Repair, Colorectal Cancer, Carrier Status

Most common pathogenic MUTYH variant; biallelic carriers develop MUTYH-Associated Polyposis with ~28-fold increased colorectal cancer risk, while heterozygous carriers have a modest CRC risk elevation (OR ~1.3)

rs3733590 — SLC2A9
Chromosome 4 Risk Allele C Category Uric Acid & Kidney Function Uric Acid, Gout, Diet, Kidney Function, Cardiovascular

Intronic SLC2A9 variant tagging the GLUT9 urate-transport locus; the C allele is markedly enriched in East Asian populations (~41%) compared to Europeans (~5%) and may influence SLC2A9 splicing, modestly elevating serum uric acid and gout risk via linkage with the broader SLC2A9 risk haplotype

rs3754777 — STK39
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele T Category Blood Pressure & Hypertension Hypertension, Blood Pressure, Kidney Function, Cardiovascular, Salt Sensitivity

Intronic STK39 variant that increases SPAK kinase expression, enhancing phosphorylation of renal sodium cotransporters NCC and NKCC2 and raising blood pressure through excess sodium reabsorption.

rs397508075 — KCNQ1 KCNQ1 Long QT Type 1 Variant 3
Chromosome 11 Risk Allele T Category Arrhythmia & Heart Rhythm Arrhythmia, Cardiovascular, Heart Disease, Genetic Counseling, Congenital

Pathogenic nonsense variant (Q359X) in KCNQ1 that truncates the IKs potassium channel, causing Long QT syndrome type 1 with markedly increased risk of life-threatening arrhythmias during exercise and emotional stress

rs505151 — PCSK9 E670G
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele G Category Atherogenic Lipoproteins Cardiovascular, Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, Lipid Metabolism, Statins

Common missense variant in PCSK9 exon 12 where the rare G allele raises LDL cholesterol and increases coronary artery disease risk through enhanced LDLR degradation

rs563694 — ABCB11 G6PC2/ABCB11 fasting glucose locus
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele A Category Liver Fat Insulin, Metabolic, Diabetes, Liver, Fat Metabolism, Metabolic Health, Fasting Glucose, Pancreatic Beta Cell

Intronic variant in ABCB11 in strong linkage disequilibrium with G6PC2 regulatory SNPs; the A allele tags higher G6PC2 expression in pancreatic beta cells, elevating the fasting blood glucose set-point by ~0.065 mmol/L per allele

Continue reading
rs6013897 — CYP24A1
Chromosome 20 Risk Allele A Category Vitamin D Metabolism Vitamin D, Bone Health, Diet, Cardiovascular, Mineral Metabolism

Near-gene regulatory variant affecting vitamin D 24-hydroxylase expression — modulates the rate at which active vitamin D is degraded

Continue reading
rs10925260 — MTR
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele C Category Methylation & Detox Methylation, B Vitamins, Homocysteine, Folate

Intronic MTR variant associated with altered methionine synthase expression and neural tube defect risk

Continue reading
rs11558471 — SLC30A8 SLC30A8 Zinc Transport Depth Variant
Chromosome 8 Risk Allele A Category Blood Sugar & Diabetes Zinc, Insulin, Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, Metabolic Health, Cardiovascular

3-prime UTR variant in the SLC30A8 zinc transporter gene that alters ZnT8 mRNA expression via allele-specific mechanisms, providing additional signal on zinc-mediated insulin processing and type 2 diabetes susceptibility at this locus

Continue reading
rs11808092 — EVI5
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele A Category Neurology & Cognition Autoimmune, Immune & Autoimmune, Multiple Sclerosis, Inflammation, Immune System, T-Cell Regulation

Missense variant in EVI5's coiled-coil domain altering immune cell trafficking and multiple sclerosis susceptibility
