rs4845625 — IL6R
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele T Category TNF, NF-kB & Inflammatory Cytokines Autoimmune, Inflammation, Cardiovascular, Biologic Therapy, Rheumatoid Arthritis, JAK-STAT Signaling

Intronic IL6R variant associated with coronary artery disease risk, elevated inflammatory markers (CRP, LDL, ApoB), and altered response to IL-6 receptor-blocking biologics (tocilizumab, sarilumab); the T allele tags a haplotype with subtly enhanced classical IL-6 signaling

rs571312 — MC4R MC4R Regulatory Variant (Appetite Signaling)
Chromosome 18 Risk Allele A Category Appetite & Obesity Appetite, Obesity, Metabolic, Diet, Satiety, Leptin

Regulatory variant upstream of MC4R associated with increased caloric intake, elevated BMI, and obesity risk through reduced MC4R satiety signaling

rs5742909 — CTLA4 Promoter -318C/T
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele T Category Autoimmune Tolerance & T-Cell Regulation Immune & Autoimmune, Autoimmune, Thyroid, Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Inflammation

Promoter variant that increases CTLA-4 transcription; T allele carriers show better response to abatacept in rheumatoid arthritis and may have modestly altered autoimmune susceptibility

rs61750595 — VWF R1659X
Chromosome 12 Risk Allele A Category Von Willebrand & Anticoagulant Proteins Blood Clotting, Cardiovascular, Carrier Status, Thrombophilia, Genetic Counseling

Nonsense mutation creating a premature stop codon in von Willebrand factor; heterozygotes have VWD type 1 (partial VWF deficiency) and homozygotes have VWD type 3, the most severe bleeding disorder caused by near-complete absence of VWF

rs61751629 — CARD14 Glu422Lys
Chromosome 17 Risk Allele A Category Psoriasis & Spondyloarthropathy Psoriasis, Skin, Inflammation, Biologic Therapy, Anti-TNF Biologics, Autoimmune

Rare missense variant in the keratinocyte NF-κB scaffold protein CARD14 that may predict favorable response to anti-TNF biologic therapy in psoriasis patients

Continue reading
rs6542095 — IL1A IL1A rs6542095
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele C Category Endometriosis & Uterine Health Endometriosis, Inflammation, Fertility, Reproductive Health, Women's Health, Immune Response

Regulatory variant near the IL1A (Interleukin-1 alpha) gene associated with moderate-to-severe endometriosis risk; the C allele increases risk (OR 1.21) by modulating IL-1α-driven peritoneal inflammation, adhesion formation, and ectopic endometrial tissue implantation

rs7435196 — SLC2A9
Chromosome 4 Risk Allele A Category Uric Acid & Kidney Function Gout, Uric Acid, Kidney Function, Diet, Micronutrients

Intronic SLC2A9 variant located within the GLUT9 renal urate transporter gene; the A allele is enriched in European populations and lies approximately 4.8 kb from the established urate-GWAS signal rs11942223, suggesting potential haplotype co-tagging with known SLC2A9 uric acid regulatory signals; direct evidence for an independent effect on serum urate is currently absent, and the variant has no GWAS associations or published citations as of 2026

Continue reading
rs7528684 — FCRL3 -169C>T
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele G Category B-Cell Immunity & Antibody-Mediated Disease Autoimmune, B-Cell Signaling, T-Cell Regulation, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Thyroid, Inflammation

Promoter variant in FCRL3 that alters NF-κB binding and elevates FCRL3 expression on B cells and regulatory T cells, increasing susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis, Graves' disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis

Continue reading
rs7571842 — SLC4A5
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele A Category Blood Pressure & Hypertension Blood Pressure, Salt Sensitivity, Hypertension, Cardiovascular, Kidney

Intronic variant in the renal sodium-bicarbonate cotransporter gene SLC4A5 associated with salt sensitivity of blood pressure; A allele carriers show amplified blood pressure responses to high dietary sodium.

Continue reading
rs7594951 — SRD5A2 SRD5A2 intron 4 regulatory variant
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele T Category Reproductive Hormones Testosterone, Steroid Metabolism, Hair Loss, Prostate, Reproductive Health, Drug Metabolism

Deep intronic variant in the testosterone-to-DHT converting enzyme; the minor T allele is associated with higher serum DHT levels, with implications for androgenetic alopecia severity, prostate growth, and response to 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors
