Missense variant in betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase that reduces enzyme throughput and influences homocysteine, betaine, and choline metabolite levels
Decreased-function variant affecting metabolism of efavirenz, methadone, bupropion, and cyclophosphamide
Promoter variant in the melatonin receptor 1B gene that alters MTNR1B expression, affecting circadian rhythm, morningness chronotype, and fasting glucose through impaired insulin secretion
Intronic PTPRS variant that tags elevated type 2 diabetes risk in both sexes through increased receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase sigma activity, which dephosphorylates insulin-signalling substrates and attenuates both pancreatic insulin secretion and peripheral insulin sensitivity
ABCG1 promoter variant that reduces transporter expression, impairing macrophage cholesterol efflux and increasing macrophage apoptosis — yet paradoxically associated with higher HDL-C, lower LDL-C, and reduced coronary artery disease risk in population studies
Intronic ANK1 variant at the NKX6-3/ANK1 type 2 diabetes locus; the T allele alters ANK1 expression in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle, impairing insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and insulin processing through a non-islet mechanism
Intronic FKBP5 variant in the stress-aging haplotype block — T allele carriers show impaired HPA axis negative feedback, accelerated epigenetic aging, and elevated NF-κB-driven inflammation
Intronic IL4 variant that forms part of the protective C-G-C haplotype (rs2243250–rs2227284–rs2243290); the C allele is associated with reduced asthma susceptibility, while the A allele tracks with the high-Th2 haplotype and increased atopic disease risk
Exon 8 missense variant in the IL-7 receptor alpha chain (Ile356Val) associated with modestly increased multiple sclerosis susceptibility under a recessive model; unlike rs6897932, no functional splicing or expression mechanism has been established
Common CYP2C19 missense variant defining the *1B allele; the G (Val331) allele is the population-major normal-function form, while the rare A (Ile331) allele marks loss-of-function haplotype backgrounds
