rs367543005 — ASL p.Gln354Ter (Q354X)
Chromosome 7 Risk Allele T Category Metabolic Enzymes & Rare Disorders Urea Cycle, Metabolic, Carrier Status, Congenital, Liver, Genetic Counseling

Nonsense mutation in argininosuccinate lyase introducing a premature stop codon that abolishes the fourth step of the urea cycle; a founder allele in Arab populations causing argininosuccinic aciduria, the second most common urea cycle disorder — homozygotes develop neonatal hyperammonemia and require lifelong arginine supplementation, protein restriction, and hepatic surveillance

rs3918242 — MMP9 MMP9 C-1562T
Chromosome 20 Risk Allele T Category Coronary Artery Disease & Atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular, Extracellular Matrix, Inflammation, Heart Disease, Cerebrovascular

Promoter variant that disrupts an SP1 transcription factor binding site, increasing MMP-9 expression in vascular tissue; the T allele is associated with elevated plaque instability, higher risk of myocardial infarction, and increased ischemic stroke risk, particularly in Asian populations

Continue reading
rs397507174 — BTD BTD Tyr190Cys
Chromosome 3 Risk Allele G Category Vitamins & Nutrient Absorption B Vitamins, Micronutrients, Carrier Status, Genetic Counseling, Vitamins, Biomarkers

Pathogenic missense variant in biotinidase that abolishes biotin recycling; heterozygous carriers have partial enzyme reduction while homozygotes and compound heterozygotes develop biotinidase deficiency requiring lifelong biotin supplementation

Continue reading
rs397515563 — DNAI1 DNAI1 IVS19+1G>A
Chromosome 9 Risk Allele A Category Innate Immunity & Infection Defense Carrier Status, Lung Health, Respiratory Infections, Male Fertility, Autoimmune, Innate Immunity

Splice donor variant disrupting DNAI1 intron 19, causing in-frame deletion of exon 19 (A607_K667del); pathogenic for autosomal recessive primary ciliary dyskinesia with outer dynein arm defects, chronic sinopulmonary disease, and situs inversus

Continue reading
rs4077515 — CARD9 S12N
Chromosome 9 Risk Allele T Category IBD & Mucosal Immunity Immune & Gut, Innate Immunity, Gut Microbiome, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Infection Risk, Crohn's Disease

Gain-of-function missense variant in the CARD9 adaptor protein that enhances antifungal immune signaling, increasing susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, and recurrent fungal infections
