rs1342326 — IL33 IL33 regulatory variant
Chromosome 9 Risk Allele C Category Allergy & Atopic Disease Asthma, Inflammation, Innate Immunity, Autoimmune, Biologic Therapy, Lung Health

Regulatory variant upstream of IL33; the C allele elevates IL-33 expression, amplifying the alarmin signal through the ST2 receptor and raising susceptibility to asthma, allergic rhinitis, hay fever, and eosinophilic airway inflammation

rs1532278 — CLU CLU Alzheimer's risk variant
Chromosome 8 Risk Allele C Category Neurology & Cognition Alzheimer's, Brain Health, Neurodegeneration, Cognitive Decline, Neuroinflammation, Neuroprotection

Intronic regulatory variant in CLU (clusterin/apolipoprotein J) that controls neuronal clusterin expression; the protective T allele elevates CLU transcription, enhancing amyloid-beta clearance across the blood-brain barrier and reducing Alzheimer's disease risk

rs1537373 — CDKN2B-AS1 ANRIL T2D/Cardiovascular Variant
Chromosome 9 Risk Allele T Category Blood Sugar & Diabetes Cardiovascular, Diabetes, Pancreatic Beta Cell, Atherosclerosis, Insulin, Cancer Risk

Regulatory intronic variant within ANRIL (CDKN2B-AS1) at the 9p21.3 locus; the T risk allele is associated with substantially elevated risk of myocardial infarction, brain aneurysm, and type 2 diabetes through ANRIL-mediated dysregulation of cellular senescence and beta-cell proliferation

rs1800592 — UCP1 A-3826G
Chromosome 4 Risk Allele C Category Fat Storage & Energy Fat Metabolism, Obesity, Diet, Thermogenesis, Brown Fat, Metabolic

Promoter variant reducing UCP1 expression in brown adipose tissue, impairing cold-induced and postprandial thermogenesis and increasing visceral fat accumulation with age

Continue reading
rs1934951 — CYP2C8
Chromosome 10 Risk Allele T Category Pharmacogenomics Drug Metabolism, Cancer Treatment, Chemotherapy, Pharmacogenomics, Bone Health

Intronic CYP2C8 variant associated with paclitaxel-induced toxicity and bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis risk in multiple myeloma

Continue reading
rs2072114 — FADS2 FADS2 Intron 1 Variant
Chromosome 11 Risk Allele G Category Triglycerides & Fatty Acids Omega-3, Fat Metabolism, Lipid Metabolism, Cardiovascular, Diet

Intronic FADS2 haplotype tag SNP — the G allele is linked to altered delta-6 desaturase activity, shifting the conversion of linoleic acid toward lower arachidonic acid production and modifying LDL-C in a diet-dependent manner.

Continue reading
rs2295080 — MTOR
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele T Category Longevity & Aging Longevity, Aging, Autophagy, Cancer Risk, Insulin, Cardiovascular

Promoter variant that reduces mTOR expression; the G allele lowers mTOR transcriptional activity and is associated with decreased cancer risk across multiple tumor types

Continue reading
rs2881766 — ESR1 ESR1 intron variant
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele T Category Vascular Inflammation & Remodeling Cardiovascular, Hypertension, Estrogen, Preeclampsia, Breast Cancer, Women's Health

Intronic variant in estrogen receptor alpha that alters ESR1 expression and has been associated with gestational hypertension risk and breast cancer susceptibility

Continue reading
rs28942083 — LDLR Cys667Tyr
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele A Category Cholesterol & Lipoproteins Cholesterol, Cardiovascular, Fat Metabolism, Statins, Diet

Pathogenic LDLR missense variant abolishing LDL receptor surface expression, causing familial hypercholesterolemia with severely elevated LDL-C from birth
