Intronic TLR4 variant in the innate immune receptor gene; the A allele associates with modestly reduced vascular inflammation and lower risk of nonfatal myocardial infarction, while the common GG genotype is linked to higher atherosclerotic cerebral infarction risk
Synonymous IGF1R variant associated with lower circulating IGF-1 levels and enrichment in long-lived populations — affects mRNA splicing despite preserving the amino acid sequence
Intronic ABCA1 variant associated with lower HDL-cholesterol susceptibility and coronary heart disease risk at one of the most replicated lipid GWAS loci
Intronic variant in FGFR1OP (CEP43) at the RNASET2-FGFR1OP-CCR6 autoimmune susceptibility locus, with the T allele increasing risk for Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and related autoimmune conditions
Intergenic tag SNP near NEGR1 associated with elevated BMI and major depression risk through hypothalamic NEGR1 expression — one of the most replicated obesity GWAS loci and a genome-wide significant depression locus
Heteroplasmic missense variant in the mitochondrially encoded ND5 subunit of complex I, causing variable-penetrance mitochondrial disease including Leigh syndrome, MELAS, and Leber optic atrophy depending on mutation load.
Pleiotropic missense variant reducing SH2B3 inhibitory function, increasing blood pressure, CAD risk, platelet count, and susceptibility to autoimmune diseases
Protective loss-of-function variant in the PTPN22 catalytic domain that reduces phosphatase activity and lowers risk of SLE, RA, and ulcerative colitis
Pathogenic missense variant in the myosin motor domain causing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with a 47% lifetime atrial fibrillation rate in affected adults; requires family cardiac screening
Exon 2 missense variant in the inflammasome regulator pyrin; the most common and most debated MEFV variant, classified as likely benign by most clinical labs but associated with mild FMF-like symptoms in some homozygous carriers, especially in Middle Eastern and East/South Asian populations
