Pathogenic PROS1 missense variant in the SHBG-like domain that impairs protein S secretion; heterozygotes have reduced protein S activity and a substantially elevated risk of venous thromboembolism requiring specialist evaluation
Intergenic enhancer variant controlling BNC2 expression in melanocytes; determines pigmentation saturation and freckling tendency with implications for UV sensitivity and skin cancer risk
Intronic PDC variant in the phosducin gene — G homozygotes show 12–15 mmHg higher blood pressure than A-allele carriers due to reduced sympathetic dampening.
Missense variant in the LH/hCG receptor producing a gain-of-function increase in receptor sensitivity, influencing ovarian stimulation response, IVF outcomes, and gonadotropin-dependent signaling
Intronic variant in the fibronectin 1 gene associated with increased susceptibility to endometriosis, particularly moderate-to-severe disease; the A allele may influence transcription factor binding and FN1 expression, altering extracellular matrix remodeling in ectopic endometrial implants
Intronic variant near ALPL associated with increased alkaline phosphatase activity, lowering circulating PLP (the active form of vitamin B6) — those with two G copies have higher ALPL activity and lower plasma B6 levels
Intronic variant in NEDD4L associated with reading ability and dyslexia susceptibility
An intronic variant in TYK2 intron 7 that promotes exon 8 inclusion in the mature TYK2 transcript, enhancing TYK2 receptor-binding capacity and conferring protection against SLE in Caucasian populations; acts through the same exon 8 splicing mechanism as the co-associated rs2304256 (V362F) variant
Uromodulin promoter variant — strongest GWAS signal for chronic kidney disease risk, affecting salt handling and blood pressure via NKCC2
Missense variant in the IL-17 adaptor Act1 (Arg74Trp) that is the primary GWAS hit for psoriatic arthritis at the TRAF3IP2 locus (OR=1.83, P=8.56×10⁻¹⁷); in strong LD with the functional D10N variant but appears to tag a partially overlapping, PsA-enriched haplotype
