rs8111930 — MRPL4 MRPL4 Atopy-Associated Intronic Variant
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele G Category Allergy & Atopic Disease Asthma, Inflammation, Immune Function, Mitochondria, Immune System, Lung Health

Intronic variant in MRPL4 on chromosome 19p13.2 that alters transcription factor binding (AREB6 loss, CREB2 gain), reducing mitochondrial ribosomal protein L4 expression and increasing susceptibility to atopy and allergic rhinitis via the HIF-1α signalling pathway

rs6897932 — IL7R T244I
Chromosome 5 Risk Allele C Category Neurology & Cognition Immune & Autoimmune, Multiple Sclerosis, T-Cell Regulation, Inflammation, Immune & Gut, Autoimmune, Immune System, Neurological Risk

Splicing variant in the IL-7 receptor alpha chain that shifts the balance toward soluble receptor, amplifying IL-7 signaling and raising susceptibility to multiple sclerosis and related autoimmune conditions

rs72549354 — CYP2D6 *20
Chromosome 22 Risk Allele D Category Pharmacogenomics Drug Metabolism, Pharmacogenomics, Pain Medication, Antidepressants, Mental Health

Frameshift insertion creating a null CYP2D6 allele; carriers cannot metabolize ~25% of common drugs including opioids, antidepressants, and antipsychotics

rs872129 — CHI3L1 CHI3L1 eQTL Variant
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele G Category Allergy & Atopic Disease Asthma, Inflammation, Biomarkers, Immune & Autoimmune, Lung Health, Cardiovascular

Third independent eQTL signal at the CHI3L1/YKL-40 locus on chromosome 1q32.1; the G allele modifies circulating YKL-40 levels independently of the two primary CHI3L1 regulatory variants and has been linked to altered inflammatory and cerebrovascular risk

rs7101429 — GAB2 GAB2 Alzheimer's risk modifier
Chromosome 11 Risk Allele A Category Neurology & Cognition Alzheimer's, Tau Pathology, Neurodegeneration, Cognitive Decline, Neuroprotection, Brain Health

Intronic variant in GAB2 that modulates late-onset Alzheimer's disease risk; the minor G allele is protective, associated with higher GAB2 expression and reduced tau and amyloid pathology in brain tissue

rs75017182 — DPYD HapB3 (c.1129-5923C>G)
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele C Category Pharmacogenomics Drug Metabolism, Pharmacogenomics, Chemotherapy, Cancer Treatment, Fluoropyrimidine Toxicity, Pyrimidine Catabolism

Deep intronic splice-site variant that is the functional driver of the DPYD HapB3 haplotype; creates a cryptic splice site causing ~50% DPD activity loss and requiring 50% fluoropyrimidine dose reduction

rs8832 — IL4R IL4R 3'UTR Asthma Exacerbation Variant
Chromosome 16 Risk Allele G Category Allergy & Atopic Disease Asthma, Inflammation, Immune Response, Immune System, Skin Health

3' untranslated region variant in the IL-4 receptor alpha chain gene; the G allele is associated with elevated type-2 inflammatory endotype in asthma and predicts exacerbation risk and pharmacogenetic response to IL-4 pathway blockade

Continue reading
rs72474224 — GJB2 V37I
Chromosome 13 Risk Allele T Category Neurology & Cognition Hearing Loss, Sensorineural, Congenital, Carrier Status, Sensory Processing

Connexin 26 missense variant causing partial loss of cochlear gap junction function; the leading cause of mild-to-moderate hereditary hearing loss in East Asian populations

Continue reading
rs762551 — CYP1A2 *1F
Chromosome 15 Risk Allele C Category Pharmacogenomics Drug Metabolism, Diet, Cardiovascular

CYP1A2 *1F intronic inducibility variant — defines fast vs slow caffeine metabolizer status and affects clearance of clozapine, theophylline, and tizanidine. The slow-metabolizer C allele blunts the smoking-induced enzyme upregulation that normally accelerates these drugs in heavy smokers.

rs907091 — IKZF3 IKZF3 miRNA Binding Region Variant
Chromosome 17 Risk Allele T Category Allergy & Atopic Disease Autoimmune, B-Cell Signaling, Immune System, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Inflammation

A 3'UTR variant in IKZF3 that alters miR-326 binding affinity, reducing Aiolos transcription factor expression in a T-allele-dependent manner and increasing susceptibility to systemic autoimmune disease through impaired B-cell maturation and immune homeostasis
