rs2297839 — CHI3L1 CHI3L1 Intron Variant
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele C Category Allergy & Atopic Disease Asthma, Inflammation, Biomarkers, Lung Health, Hypertension, Immune Response

Intronic variant in CHI3L1 associated with circulating YKL-40 levels and modulation of hypertension risk; the T allele is linked to lower YKL-40 output and a reduced risk of hypertension, extending the known allergy-relevant inflammatory axis of the CHI3L1 locus into cardiovascular biology

rs3788189 — SLC19A1 SLC19A1 IVS2 variant
Chromosome 21 Risk Allele G Category Methylation & Detox Methylation & Detox, Folate, Pharmacogenomics, Cancer Treatment, Drug Metabolism

Intronic variant in the folate transporter gene associated with pemetrexed treatment outcomes and folate pathway efficiency in antifolate chemotherapy

Continue reading
rs3791033 — KDM4A
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele C Category Pharmacogenomics Pharmacogenomics, Drug Metabolism, Pain Sensitivity, Chronic Pain, Addiction, Epigenetics

Intronic variant in KDM4A histone demethylase associated with problematic opioid prescription use in a 132,113-participant GWAS
