rs2297508 — SREBF1 SREBF1 G952G
Chromosome 17 Risk Allele G Category Fat Storage & Energy Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, Lipid Metabolism, Metabolic, Cardiovascular, Fat Metabolism

SREBF1 3' UTR variant that subtly impairs SREBP-1c function, increasing risk for type 2 diabetes through reduced adiponectin secretion and impaired insulin-mediated lipogenic signalling

rs264 — LPL LPL Intron 6 Variant
Chromosome 8 Risk Allele A Category Triglycerides & Fatty Acids Triglycerides, Cholesterol, Cardiovascular, Fat Metabolism, Diet

Intronic LPL variant associated with altered triglyceride clearance and HDL levels; the minor A allele is linked to lower HDL cholesterol and elevated coronary artery disease risk

rs2779249 — NOS2 Promoter -1026C/A
Chromosome 17 Risk Allele A Category Longevity & Aging Longevity, Inflammaging, Nitric Oxide, Cardiovascular, Oxidative Stress, Inflammation

Functional promoter variant that increases iNOS transcriptional activity up to 5-fold, raising nitric oxide output and nitrosative stress; forms a risk haplotype with the gain-of-function coding variant rs2297518

rs397516919 — DSP DSP Trp550Ter
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele A Category Cardiomyopathy & Structural Heart Cardiovascular, Heart Disease, Arrhythmia, Fibrosis, Genetic Counseling, Carrier Status

Nonsense variant in desmoplakin that truncates the protein at codon 550, causing severe haploinsufficiency and predisposing heterozygous carriers to arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with predominantly left ventricular fibrosis and high arrhythmic risk

Continue reading
rs4073 — IL8 -251A>T
Chromosome 4 Risk Allele T Category Vascular Inflammation & Remodeling Inflammation, Cardiovascular, Heart Disease, Atherosclerosis, Immune Response, Biomarkers

Promoter variant affecting interleukin-8 transcription and inflammatory burden

rs429358 — APOE E4 determinant
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele C Category Cholesterol & Lipoproteins Cholesterol, Cardiovascular, Alzheimer's, Fat Metabolism, Diet

Lipid metabolism and Alzheimer's risk - E4 carriers respond worse to high saturated fat

Continue reading
rs4654748 — NBPF3
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele C Category Vitamins & Nutrient Absorption B Vitamins, Homocysteine, Neurotransmitters, Cardiovascular, Methylation, Diet

Tag SNP in the NBPF3/ALPL locus on chromosome 1 — the strongest common genetic determinant of circulating vitamin B6 (PLP) levels, acting through alkaline phosphatase-mediated catabolism

Continue reading
rs4833095 — TLR1 N248S
Chromosome 4 Risk Allele C Category Innate Immunity & Infection Defense Innate Immunity, Infectious Disease, Immune & Gut, Inflammation, Immune System

Missense variant replacing asparagine with serine at TLR1 position 248 in the extracellular leucine-rich repeat domain — impairing TLR1/TLR2 heterodimer signaling to bacterial triacylated lipopeptides and increasing susceptibility to gram-positive bacterial infections and leprosy

Continue reading
rs505922 — ABO ABO blood group tag SNP
Chromosome 9 Risk Allele C Category Coronary Artery Disease & Atherosclerosis Cardiovascular, Thrombosis, Blood Thinners, Inflammation, Cancer Risk, Thrombophilia

Tag SNP for the ABO blood group locus; T allele marks blood type O (lower clotting proteins), C allele marks non-O types (A, B, AB) with elevated VTE and cardiovascular risk
