rs2466293 — SLC30A8 SLC30A8 Islet Zinc Regulation Variant
Chromosome 8 Risk Allele G Category Blood Sugar & Diabetes Zinc, Insulin, Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, Metabolic Health, Women's Health

3'UTR variant in the zinc transporter ZnT8 gene that disrupts miRNA binding sites, altering ZnT8 expression in pancreatic beta cells and influencing type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes, and gestational diabetes risk

rs28371706 — CYP2D6 *17
Chromosome 22 Risk Allele A Category Pharmacogenomics Drug Metabolism, Antidepressants, Pain Medication, Ancestry-Specific, Pharmacogenomics

Decreased-function CYP2D6 allele common in African populations, reducing metabolism of antidepressants, antipsychotics, opioids, and tamoxifen

rs34714364 — APH1A APH1A gamma-secretase variant
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele T Category Hormones & Sleep Chronotype, Circadian, Sleep, Alzheimer's, Neurodegeneration, Melatonin

Synonymous variant in CA14 near APH1A; T allele is associated with morning chronotype (OR=1.12) and tags regulatory variation at the gamma-secretase locus, linking circadian preference to APP cleavage biology and Alzheimer's sleep pathology risk

rs35136575 — APOC1P1 HCR-2 Enhancer Variant
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele G Category Triglycerides & Fatty Acids LDL Cholesterol, Cholesterol, Lipid Metabolism, Cardiovascular, Atherosclerosis, Fat Metabolism

Regulatory variant in the APOE/APOC hepatic enhancer HCR-2 that lowers plasma apolipoprotein E and LDL cholesterol — rare G allele carriers have a favorable lipid profile

Continue reading
rs3774261 — ADIPOQ ADIPOQ rs3774261
Chromosome 3 Risk Allele G Category Fat Storage & Energy Adipogenesis, Insulin Resistance, Triglycerides, Cardiovascular, Metabolic, Fat Metabolism

Intronic ADIPOQ variant that reduces circulating adiponectin levels in G allele carriers, blunting insulin sensitization, fatty acid oxidation, and lipid-lowering response to caloric restriction

Continue reading
rs551397 — CFH
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele C Category Longevity & Aging Complement System, Eye Health, Aging, Inflammation, Immune System, Longevity

Intronic CFH variant that tags the AMD-risk haplotype; the C allele tracks complement dysregulation and elevated AMD susceptibility, while the T allele is protective

Continue reading
rs6596473 — SLC23A1 SLC23A1 variant
Chromosome 5 Risk Allele C Category Vitamins & Nutrient Absorption Vitamin C, Vitamins, Micronutrients, Antioxidants, Diet, Periodontal Disease

Intronic variant in the intestinal and renal vitamin C transporter gene (SVCT1) associated with modestly lower plasma vitamin C levels and increased risk of aggressive periodontitis; the C allele forms part of the Crohn disease risk haplotype at the SLC23A1 locus

Continue reading
rs6902123 — PPARD
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele C Category Fitness & Body Fat Metabolism, Exercise, Liver, Insulin, Diet

Intronic PPARD variant that independently impairs hepatic fat mobilization during lifestyle intervention; C-allele carriers show smaller reductions in liver fat regardless of how much total body fat they lose, linking this locus specifically to ectopic liver lipid regulation rather than general adiposity

Continue reading
rs7664413 — VEGFC
Chromosome 4 Risk Allele T Category Innate Immunity & Infection Defense Lymphatic, Lipedema, Fat Metabolism, Cardiovascular, Inflammation, Women's Health

Intronic variant in the primary lymphangiogenesis growth factor gene associated with elevated lymphedema risk and impaired lymphatic vascular support

Continue reading
rs76992529 — TTR Val142Ile (V142I)
Chromosome 18 Risk Allele A Category Cardiomyopathy & Structural Heart Amyloidosis, Cardiovascular, Heart Disease, Arrhythmia, Ancestry-Specific, Genetic Counseling

Most common amyloidogenic TTR variant in African Americans, causing late-onset hereditary transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (hATTR-CM); now treatable with TTR stabilizers
