rs4148102 — ABCG1 ABCG1 intronic PUFA-interaction variant
Chromosome 21 Risk Allele A Category Triglycerides & Fatty Acids Fat Metabolism, Triglycerides, Omega-3, Diet, Cardiovascular, Cholesterol

Intronic variant in the ABCG1 cholesterol efflux transporter gene that modifies how dietary polyunsaturated fat intake affects LDL and total cholesterol; AA homozygotes consuming high-PUFA diets show markedly elevated LDL-cholesterol.

rs193922916 — APP A673V (Aβ A2V)
Chromosome 21 Risk Allele A Category Neurology & Cognition Alzheimer's, Neurodegeneration, Cognitive Decline, Amyloidosis, Carrier Status, Genetic Counseling

Recessive pathogenic APP missense variant causing early-onset Alzheimer's disease in homozygotes; heterozygous carriers are unaffected due to a dominant-negative inhibition of amyloid aggregation

rs2070874 — IL4 IL4 C-33T
Chromosome 5 Risk Allele T Category Allergy & Atopic Disease Asthma, Inflammation, Autoimmune, Immune Response, Immune System, Skin Health

5'-UTR variant 33 bases downstream of the IL-4 transcription start site; the T allele alters local RNA secondary structure and is associated with elevated IL-4 production, raised serum IgE, and increased susceptibility to allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis through amplified Th2-skewed immune responses

rs2275565 — MTR IVS (intronic)
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele T Category Methylation & Detox Methylation, B Vitamins, Homocysteine

Intronic MTR variant associated with B12-dependent methylation stress

Continue reading
rs28371706 — CYP2D6 *17
Chromosome 22 Risk Allele A Category Pharmacogenomics Drug Metabolism, Antidepressants, Pain Medication, Ancestry-Specific, Pharmacogenomics

Decreased-function CYP2D6 allele common in African populations, reducing metabolism of antidepressants, antipsychotics, opioids, and tamoxifen

Continue reading
rs391300 — SRR SRR rs391300
Chromosome 17 Risk Allele C Category Blood Sugar & Diabetes Diabetes, Insulin, Pancreatic Beta Cell, Metabolic, Neurotransmitters, Ancestry-Specific

Intronic variant in serine racemase that alters D-serine production in pancreatic beta cells, modulating NMDA receptor signaling and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion; C allele associated with increased type 2 diabetes risk, particularly in East Asian populations

Continue reading
rs4775065 — LIPC
Chromosome 15 Risk Allele A Category Triglycerides & Fatty Acids Fat Metabolism, HDL Cholesterol, Cardiovascular, Cholesterol, Heart Disease, Triglycerides

Intronic LIPC variant associated with susceptibility to low HDL-C and coronary heart disease through hepatic lipase activity modulation; A allele (minor, ~29% globally) confers elevated CHD risk
