rs547025 — SIRT3
Chromosome 11 Risk Allele T Category Endometriosis & Uterine Health Uterine Fibroids, Fertility, Reproductive Health, Oxidative Stress, Women's Health, Mitochondria

Intronic variant in SIRT3 (the principal mitochondrial deacetylase) associated with uterine fibroid risk; the common T allele is linked to modestly higher fibroid susceptibility while the rarer C allele appears protective, likely through effects on SIRT3 expression and mitochondrial oxidative-stress defence in uterine smooth muscle

rs559406 — PTPN2
Chromosome 18 Risk Allele G Category Autoimmune Tolerance & T-Cell Regulation Autoimmune, T-Cell Regulation, Inflammation, Immune & Autoimmune, Psoriasis, JAK-STAT Signaling

Intronic PTPN2 variant whose G allele reduces T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TC-PTP) activity, amplifying JAK-STAT signaling and conferring susceptibility to psoriasis and related autoimmune conditions

rs610604 — TNFAIP3
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele G Category Psoriasis & Spondyloarthropathy Autoimmune, Inflammation, Psoriasis, Anti-TNF Biologics, Immune & Gut, Skin

Intronic variant in TNFAIP3 whose G allele is the primary psoriasis susceptibility signal at 6q23.3, tagging a regulatory haplotype distinct from the rheumatoid arthritis and lupus signals at the same locus, and predicting better response to TNF inhibitor therapy

rs61750591 — VWF c.4944del
Chromosome 12 Risk Allele D Category Von Willebrand & Anticoagulant Proteins Blood Clotting, Cardiovascular, Carrier Status, Thrombophilia, Thrombosis

A frameshift deletion in VWF that truncates von Willebrand factor from position 1649; heterozygous carriers are at risk for type 1 von Willebrand disease with reduced VWF levels and mucocutaneous bleeding, most prevalent in Northern European populations

rs72553883 — TNFRSF13B A181E
Chromosome 17 Risk Allele T Category B-Cell Immunity & Antibody-Mediated Disease B-Cell Signaling, Autoimmune, Immune Function, Infection Risk, Immune Response, Carrier Status, Innate Immunity, Immune System

Transmembrane domain missense variant in TACI that abolishes NF-κB signaling, impairing B-cell class switching and antibody production; associated with common variable immunodeficiency and selective IgA deficiency

rs727479 — CYP19A1
Chromosome 15 Risk Allele C Category Reproductive Hormones Aromatase, Estrogen Metabolism, Bone Health, Breast Cancer, Menopause, Estrogen

Intronic eQTL variant in the aromatase gene CYP19A1; the minor C allele is the strongest common genetic determinant of lower circulating estradiol in postmenopausal women, acting through altered aromatase expression in peripheral tissues.

rs7305099 — WNK1 WNK1 intronic variant
Chromosome 12 Risk Allele G Category Blood Pressure & Hypertension Blood Pressure, Hypertension, Kidney Function, Cardiovascular, Salt Sensitivity, Renal Function

Intronic WNK1 variant where the G allele is associated with increased essential hypertension risk while the minor T allele is protective; WNK1 is the master kinase controlling renal sodium-chloride reabsorption through the NCC cotransporter

Continue reading
rs73885316 — APOL1 p.N264K
Chromosome 22 Risk Allele A Category Uric Acid & Kidney Function Kidney Disease, Kidney Function, Nephrology, Ancestry-Specific, Renal Function, Cardiovascular

Protective missense modifier in APOL1 that abolishes G2 risk allele cytotoxicity, strongly reducing kidney disease risk in carriers of G2-containing high-risk genotypes

Continue reading
rs763625913 — LDLR Q770* (c.2308C>T)
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele T Category Atherogenic Lipoproteins Cardiovascular, Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, Statins, Genetic Counseling, Heart Disease

Rare pathogenic nonsense variant in the LDL receptor gene that abolishes receptor function, causing receptor-negative familial hypercholesterolemia with severely elevated LDL-C and high premature coronary artery disease risk

Continue reading
rs9277535 — HLA-DPB1
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele G Category Interferon Signaling & Systemic Autoimmune HLA, MHC Antigen Presentation, Immune & Antiviral, Immune & Autoimmune, Infection Risk, Autoimmune

3' UTR eQTL that reduces HLA-DPB1 expression, impairing antigen presentation and increasing risk for chronic hepatitis B infection; also linked to multiple sclerosis and modulates rheumatoid arthritis risk through a dose-dependent trade-off in immune activation
