rs5068 — NPPA
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele G Category Blood Pressure & Hypertension Cardiovascular, Blood Pressure, Hypertension, Metabolic Syndrome, Insulin, Nitric Oxide

3'UTR variant that disrupts miR-425 binding, increasing atrial natriuretic peptide levels and conferring cardioprotection against hypertension and metabolic syndrome

rs547154 — C2 IVS10
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele G Category B-Cell Immunity & Antibody-Mediated Disease Eye Health, Complement System, Inflammation, Aging, Autoimmune

Intronic C2 variant forming the H7 protective haplotype with CFB R32Q, reducing classical complement activation and cutting AMD risk by roughly half

Continue reading
rs6162 — CYP17A1 His46=
Chromosome 10 Risk Allele A Category Reproductive Hormones Steroid Hormones, Steroid Metabolism, Testosterone, Reproductive Health, Cortisol, Cancer Risk

Synonymous coding variant in CYP17A1 that tags a haplotype linked to altered DHEA-S levels and steroid production; associated with prostate cancer progression and castration-resistant prostate cancer risk

Continue reading
rs61816761 — FLG R501X
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele A Category Skin & Eyes Skin Health, Immune & Gut, Inflammation, Food Sensitivity, Asthma, Immune System

Nonsense variant eliminating filaggrin protein, the major genetic risk factor for atopic dermatitis and the atopic march from eczema to asthma and food allergy

Continue reading
rs6742078 — UGT1A10
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele T Category Uric Acid & Kidney Function Bilirubin, Liver Health, Gallstones, Drug Metabolism, Metabolism, Cardiovascular

Intronic variant in the UGT1A gene cluster (chromosome 2q37) strongly associated with serum bilirubin levels; the T allele reduces glucuronidation capacity, causing mild hyperbilirubinemia and a dose-dependent increase in pigment gallstone risk

Continue reading
rs688 — LDLR Asn591Asn (c.1773C>T)
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele T Category Atherogenic Lipoproteins Cardiovascular, Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, Lipid Metabolism, Statins, Heart Disease

Synonymous LDLR variant that disrupts exon 12 splicing, reduces LDL receptor surface expression by ~22%, and raises LDL cholesterol — particularly in pre-menopausal women

Continue reading
rs7454108 — HLA-DQB1 DQ8 tag
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele C Category Interferon Signaling & Systemic Autoimmune Immune & Autoimmune, Celiac Disease, Type 1 Diabetes, Gluten Sensitivity, HLA Typing

Tag SNP identifying HLA-DQ8 haplotype, second strongest genetic risk factor for celiac disease and major type 1 diabetes risk marker

Continue reading
rs855791 — TMPRSS6 Ala736Val
Chromosome 22 Risk Allele A Category Iron & Mineral Transport Iron, Cardiovascular, Diet, Vitamins

Master regulator of iron absorption via hepcidin control — the strongest common genetic determinant of iron status

Continue reading
rs1295685 — IL13
Chromosome 5 Risk Allele A Category Allergy & Atopic Disease Asthma, Inflammation, Autoimmune, Skin Health, T-Cell Regulation, JAK-STAT Signaling

3'-UTR regulatory variant in IL13 that influences IL-13 mRNA stability and expression level; the minor A allele co-segregates with the rs20541 Q130 risk haplotype and is associated with elevated serum IgE and increased susceptibility to atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis through amplified IL-13 Th2 signaling

Continue reading
rs137853000 — TMPRSS3 p.Arg216Leu (R216L)
Chromosome 21 Risk Allele A Category Neurology & Cognition Hearing Loss, Sensorineural, Carrier Status

Pathogenic missense variant at the TMPRSS3 autocatalytic cleavage site causing serine protease domain dysfunction and autosomal recessive sensorineural hearing loss (DFNB8/DFNB10); originally identified in consanguineous Turkish families
