rs914232 — SLC19A1 RFC1 -43T>C
Chromosome 21 Risk Allele C Category Methylation & Detox Methylation, Folate, B Vitamins, Homocysteine, Cardiovascular

Regulatory variant that reduces reduced folate carrier protein expression, impairing folate uptake into cells

rs4794067 — TBX21 TBX21 T-bet Promoter -1993T>C
Chromosome 17 Risk Allele C Category Allergy & Atopic Disease Autoimmune, T-Cell Regulation, Immune Response, Inflammation, Asthma, Autoimmunity

Promoter variant ~1993 bp upstream of TBX21 (encoding the T-bet master transcription factor) that reduces TBX21 expression and blunts Th1-mediated immunity; the C allele is associated with altered Th1/Th2 balance, hypothyroidism susceptibility, and aspirin-induced asthma risk in Asian populations.

rs58440431 — CYP2D6
Chromosome 22 Risk Allele C Category Pharmacogenomics Drug Metabolism, Pharmacogenomics, Pain Medication, Antidepressants, Ancestry-Specific

Intronic CYP2D6 variant tagging East Asian *10-lineage suballeles; the C allele co-segregates with reduced-function haplotypes affecting metabolism of ~25% of prescribed medications

rs63749885 — PSEN1 H163Y
Chromosome 14 Risk Allele T Category Neurology & Cognition Alzheimer's, Neurodegeneration, Dementia, Cognitive Decline, Amyloidosis, Genetic Counseling

Pathogenic PSEN1 missense mutation (His163Tyr) that impairs gamma-secretase processivity, elevating the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio and causing autosomal dominant early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease with average onset around age 51.

rs780096 — GCKR GCKR Metabolic Balance Variant
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele C Category Blood Sugar & Diabetes Triglycerides, Fat Metabolism, Insulin, Diabetes, Liver Health, Diet

Intronic GCKR enhancer variant that modulates FOXA2-driven GCKR expression in liver; the C allele reduces GCKR expression and weakens hepatic glucokinase braking, contributing to the glucose-triglyceride trade-off pattern characteristic of the GCKR locus — lower fasting glucose and insulin at the cost of elevated triglycerides and NAFLD susceptibility

rs4950928 — CHI3L1 YKL-40 Promoter Variant (-131C>G)
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele C Category Allergy & Atopic Disease Autoimmune, Inflammation, Asthma, Biomarkers, Immune & Autoimmune, Respiratory Infections

Promoter variant controlling YKL-40 (chitinase 3-like 1) expression; the common C allele drives higher circulating YKL-40 levels and increased susceptibility to asthma and airway inflammation

Continue reading
rs6025 — F5 Leiden
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele T Category Pharmacogenomics Cardiovascular, Blood Thinners, Thrombophilia

Factor V Leiden - blood clotting disorder affecting thrombosis risk

Continue reading
rs63749891 — PSEN1 R278I / R278T
Chromosome 14 Risk Allele T Category Neurology & Cognition Alzheimer's, Dementia, Neurodegeneration, Neurological Risk, Genetic Counseling, Amyloidosis

Pathogenic PSEN1 missense variant at codon 278 that disrupts gamma-secretase substrate processing, shifts amyloid-beta production toward longer amyloidogenic species (Aβ42, Aβ43), and causes autosomal dominant early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease typically presenting between ages 40 and 55.

rs7903146 — TCF7L2
Chromosome 10 Risk Allele T Category Blood Sugar & Diabetes Diabetes, Fat Metabolism, Diet, Insulin

Main type 2 diabetes risk variant - strongly modulated by dietary fat

Continue reading
rs6062486 — RTEL1 Telomere helicase immune variant
Chromosome 20 Risk Allele A Category Allergy & Atopic Disease Immune & Autoimmune, Telomere Biology, DNA Repair, Skin Health, Inflammation, Autoimmune

Intronic variant in RTEL1 (regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1) associated with atopic dermatitis risk; the A allele increases AD susceptibility through impaired telomere-dependent immune cell renewal
