rs2040704 — RAD50 RAD50/IL13 5q31 Atopic March Locus
Chromosome 5 Risk Allele G Category Allergy & Atopic Disease Asthma, Autoimmune, Inflammation, Immune Response, Skin Health, Lung Health

Intronic variant in the RAD50/TH2LCRR region at 5q31.1 that tags an enhancer hub coordinating IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 expression; the G allele is associated with elevated serum IgE and increased susceptibility to the atopic march (eczema → food allergy → asthma → allergic rhinitis) through amplified Th2 cytokine output

rs2073067 — MTHFD1L MTHFD1L variant
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele G Category Methylation & Detox Methylation, Folate, B Vitamins, Homocysteine, Cardiovascular

Intronic variant in the mitochondrial folate enzyme MTHFD1L, associated with altered one-carbon metabolism and Alzheimer's disease risk

rs242557 — MAPT H1c Sub-haplotype Tag
Chromosome 17 Risk Allele A Category Neurology & Cognition Neurological Risk, Parkinson's, Dementia, Tau Pathology, Brain Health, Aging

Intronic MAPT variant tagging the H1c sub-haplotype within the H1 clade, independently elevating risk for progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration through increased 4-repeat tau expression

rs28371759 — CYP3A4 *18 (L293R)
Chromosome 7 Risk Allele G Category Pharmacogenomics Drug Metabolism, Pharmacogenomics, Immunosuppressants, Transplant, Drug Response

Rare missense variant causing a Leu293Arg substitution in CYP3A4, associated with reduced enzyme activity and altered metabolism of tacrolimus, warfarin, and other CYP3A4 substrates; most frequent in East Asian populations

rs35833281 — HCRTR2
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele C Category Hormones & Sleep Sleep, Circadian, Chronotype, Hormones, Arousal, Brain Health

Intronic variant in the orexin/hypocretin receptor 2 gene that tags the HCRTR2 chronotype locus; the C allele is associated with a modest shift toward morning preference

Continue reading
rs3829462 — LIPC
Chromosome 15 Risk Allele C Category Triglycerides & Fatty Acids Fat Metabolism, Cholesterol, Cardiovascular, Triglycerides

Missense variant in hepatic lipase encoding p.Phe356Leu; the rare C allele (Phe356) is the GRCh38 reference but represents the minority allele globally, while the common A allele (Leu356) is found in ~97% of people and classified benign

Continue reading
rs4684847 — PPARG PPARG cis-regulatory variant (PR domain recruitment)
Chromosome 3 Risk Allele C Category Fat Storage & Energy Adipogenesis, Fat Distribution, Insulin Resistance, Metabolic Health, Cardiovascular, Obesity

Intronic cis-regulatory PPARG variant where the C allele recruits PR domain repressor proteins, reducing PPARG transcription in adipose tissue and impairing adipocyte differentiation, fat distribution, and insulin sensitivity

Continue reading
rs6198 — NR3C1 9β
Chromosome 5 Risk Allele C Category Longevity & Aging Longevity, Aging, HPA Axis, Stress Response, Cardiovascular, Mental Health

3'UTR variant that increases glucocorticoid-resistant GRβ isoform expression, blunting cortisol signaling and HPA axis negative feedback

Continue reading
rs7501331 — BCO1 Ala379Val
Chromosome 16 Risk Allele T Category Vitamins & Nutrient Absorption Vitamin A, Beta-Carotene, Diet, Eye Health

Reduces beta-carotene conversion to vitamin A (retinol) by ~32% per T allele, contributing to "poor converter" status for plant-based vitamin A
