rs2672598 — HTRA1
Chromosome 10 Risk Allele C Category Longevity & Aging Longevity, Aging, Eye Health, Retinal Health, Inflammation, Angiogenesis

Promoter variant at -487 in HTRA1 that elevates HTRA1 serine protease expression, disrupting TGF-β signaling and extracellular matrix remodeling in the retina and increasing risk of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration

rs28936701 — CYP1B1 R469W
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele A Category Vascular Inflammation & Remodeling Glaucoma, Eye Health, Vision, Steroid Metabolism, Cardiovascular, Cancer Risk

Pathogenic CYP1B1 missense variant (Arg469Trp) that severely reduces enzyme activity and is a leading genetic cause of primary congenital glaucoma, particularly in Middle Eastern, Iranian, and Pakistani populations

rs374304304 — ASL ASL Arg94Cys
Chromosome 7 Risk Allele T Category Metabolic Enzymes & Rare Disorders Carrier Status, Congenital, Genetic Counseling, Nitric Oxide, Blood Pressure, Liver Health

Pathogenic missense variant in argininosuccinate lyase that reduces urea cycle enzyme activity to ~12% of normal, causing argininosuccinic aciduria when inherited in biallelic form; heterozygous carriers are typically asymptomatic but carry the allele at reproductive risk

Continue reading
rs3846663 — HMGCR HMGCR Exon 13 Haplotype Tag
Chromosome 5 Risk Allele T Category Cholesterol & Lipoproteins Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, Statins, Fat Metabolism, Cardiovascular, Pharmacogenomics

Intronic HMGCR variant that tags a haplotype influencing exon 13 alternative splicing — affecting HMGCR enzyme activity, baseline LDL-C levels, and the magnitude of statin-induced LDL reduction

rs397516394 — TPM1 Met281Val
Chromosome 15 Risk Allele G Category Cardiomyopathy & Structural Heart Cardiovascular, Heart Disease, Arrhythmia, Genetic Counseling, Carrier Status

Ultra-rare TPM1 missense variant of uncertain significance found in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy panels; alters a residue where other pathogenic substitutions are known, but evidence is insufficient for definitive pathogenicity classification

Continue reading
rs398123138 — BTD
Chromosome 3 Risk Allele D Category Vitamins & Nutrient Absorption B Vitamins, Micronutrients, Carrier Status, Vitamins, Genetic Counseling, Metabolic

Pathogenic 5-bp frameshift deletion in the biotinidase enzyme gene, eliminating the final 41 amino acids of the protein and causing biotinidase deficiency when inherited in biallelic form; heterozygotes are asymptomatic carriers

Continue reading
rs4252185 — PLG
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele C Category Innate Immunity & Infection Defense Innate Immunity, Fibrinolysis, Cardiovascular, Infection Risk, Inflammation

Intronic PLG variant (intron 1) whose C allele is enriched in Europeans and appears in cardiovascular GWAS signals at the PLG/LPA locus; PLG encodes plasminogen, the serine-protease zymogen central to fibrinolysis, macrophage recruitment, and innate mucosal immunity

Continue reading
rs4570625 — TPH2 G-703T
Chromosome 12 Risk Allele G Category Mood & Behavior Mental Health, Neurotransmitters, Depression, Anxiety, Stress Response, Serotonin

Promoter variant affecting brain serotonin synthesis enzyme; influences emotional reactivity, anxiety, and depression risk

Continue reading
rs4888378 — CFDP1
Chromosome 16 Risk Allele G Category Coronary Artery Disease & Atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular, Heart Disease, Endothelial Health, Inflammation

Intronic CFDP1 locus variant that regulates BCAR1 expression in vascular tissue via FOXA binding; the A allele reduces BCAR1 levels and is associated with lower carotid intima-media thickness progression and reduced coronary artery disease risk, with the protective effect strongest in women

Continue reading
rs492602 — FUT2 FUT2 secretor status proxy
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele A Category IBD & Mucosal Immunity Secretor Status, Gut Microbiome, Autoimmune, Crohn's Disease, Psoriasis, IBD

A synonymous FUT2 proxy variant in strong LD with the W143X nonsense allele (rs601338), tagging secretor status and associated with Crohn's disease susceptibility, psoriasis risk, and gut microbiome composition; the G allele marks the secretor phenotype
