rs1053049 — PPARD 3'UTR variant
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele C Category Fitness & Body Endurance, Exercise, Fat Metabolism, Cardiovascular, Muscle, Insulin

3'UTR variant in PPARD that acts as the third tag in the elite athlete haplotype (rs2267668/rs2016520/rs1053049); TC carriers show enhanced skeletal muscle glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity; the A/C/C haplotype containing this C allele is dramatically underrepresented in elite athletes

rs1063537 — ADIPOQ
Chromosome 3 Risk Allele C Category Fat Storage & Energy Adipogenesis, Insulin Resistance, Metabolic Syndrome, Cardiovascular, Diabetes, Kidney

3'UTR variant in ADIPOQ that modulates adiponectin mRNA stability; the common C allele is associated with lower circulating adiponectin and higher type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular risk, while the minor T allele is protective for metabolic outcomes

rs10738445 — BNC2 BNC2 AIS susceptibility variant
Chromosome 9 Risk Allele C Category Innate Immunity & Infection Defense Bone & Joint, Connective Tissue, Innate Immunity, Inflammation, Embryo Development

Intronic enhancer variant in basonuclin-2 that increases YY1 binding and BNC2 expression, elevating susceptibility to adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and predicting brace treatment failure

Continue reading
rs10766383 — NUCB2
Chromosome 11 Risk Allele T Category Hormones & Sleep Hormones, Sleep, Appetite, Obesity, Diabetes, Cancer Risk

Intronic NUCB2 variant associated with type 2 diabetes risk in females and oral cancer progression in older males — the T allele modestly reduces nesfatin-1 signaling efficiency across metabolic and oncological contexts

Continue reading
rs10767664 — BDNF
Chromosome 11 Risk Allele A Category Appetite & Obesity Obesity, Satiety, Appetite, Fat Metabolism, Brain Health, Diabetes

Obesity GWAS locus in a conserved BDNF enhancer - reduces hypothalamic BDNF expression and satiety signaling, increasing caloric intake and BMI
