rs1799889 — SERPINE1 PAI-1 4G/5G Promoter
Chromosome 7 Risk Allele G Category Coagulation & Clotting Factors Fibrinolysis, Thrombosis, Blood Clotting, Cardiovascular, Thrombophilia, Heart Disease

Promoter insertion/deletion polymorphism that controls PAI-1 (plasminogen activator inhibitor-1) expression; the 4G allele (G on the plus strand) raises PAI-1 levels, suppresses fibrinolysis, and increases risk of venous thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, preeclampsia, and recurrent pregnancy loss

rs1799950 — BRCA1 Q356R
Chromosome 17 Risk Allele C Category Cancer Risk Cancer Risk, BRCA, DNA Repair, Cancer Screening, Breast Cancer

Common missense variant near the BRCA1 RING finger domain; associated with modestly elevated breast cancer risk (OR ~1.1-1.3) but classified as benign/likely benign — not a pathogenic BRCA1 mutation

rs1799977 — MLH1 Ile219Val
Chromosome 3 Risk Allele G Category Gamete Quality & DNA Repair DNA Repair, Mismatch Repair, Genomic Stability, Cancer Risk, Fertility, Sperm Quality

Missense variant in the MLH1 ATPase domain (c.655A>G, p.Ile219Val) that substitutes isoleucine for valine at a conserved hydrophobic position; classified benign for Lynch syndrome with intact mismatch repair activity, but the G allele shows modest associations with altered DNA repair kinetics and may influence meiotic recombination efficiency

rs1993116 — CYP2R1 CYP2R1 rs1993116
Chromosome 11 Risk Allele G Category Vitamin D Metabolism Vitamin D, Vitamins, Bone Health, Cardiovascular, Diet

Intronic regulatory variant in CYP2R1 that reduces hepatic vitamin D 25-hydroxylase expression, lowering the rate of vitamin D activation and increasing susceptibility to vitamin D insufficiency

rs199473521 — KCNH2 K595N
Chromosome 7 Risk Allele A Category Arrhythmia & Heart Rhythm Arrhythmia, Cardiovascular, Heart Disease, Genetic Counseling, Pharmacogenomics

Ultra-rare KCNH2 missense variant substituting asparagine for lysine at position 595 in the C-linker domain, associated with congenital long QT syndrome type 2 through impaired hERG channel function

Continue reading
rs2235091 — KLK4
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele A Category Dental & Oral Health Dental & Oral Health, Enamel Health, Minerals, Calcium, Bone Health

Intronic variant in kallikrein-4 that encodes the enamel maturation protease; A allele associated with increased caries susceptibility and molar hypomineralization in permanent dentition

Continue reading
rs10456100 — KCNK5
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele T Category Neurology & Cognition Migraine, Neurological Risk, Pain Sensitivity, Brain Health, Chronic Pain, Neuroinflammation

Intronic variant near KCNK5 that reduces TASK2 potassium channel expression and increases migraine susceptibility; the T allele is associated with lower KCNK5 expression and an ~5% elevated odds of migraine per allele in the largest GWAS to date.

rs104894007 — GCK Thr228Met (MODY2)
Chromosome 7 Risk Allele A Category Blood Sugar & Diabetes Diabetes, MODY, Pancreatic Beta Cell, Fasting Glucose, Carrier Status, Genetic Counseling

Pathogenic glucokinase missense variant that nearly abolishes enzyme activity (Kcat/S0.5 ratio 0.0001 vs wild-type), causing autosomal dominant maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 2 (MODY2) in heterozygous carriers — lifelong mild stable fasting hyperglycemia that does not require pharmacological treatment

Continue reading
rs104894142 — CYP17A1 R362C (Arg362Cys)
Chromosome 10 Risk Allele A Category Reproductive Hormones Fertility, Reproductive Health, Steroid Hormones, Hormones, Congenital, Genetic Counseling

Pathogenic CYP17A1 missense variant causing combined 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency; homozygotes lose all sex steroid and cortisol synthesis, developing hypertension, hypokalemia, and absent puberty; heterozygous carriers are asymptomatic but carry reproductive risk

Continue reading
rs104894797 — DMD Arg3182Ter (R3182*)
Chromosome X Risk Allele A Category Cardiomyopathy & Structural Heart Cardiovascular, Heart Disease, Muscle, Genetic Counseling, Carrier Status, Arrhythmia

Pathogenic nonsense variant in dystrophin creating a premature stop codon at position 3182, causing X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy and Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy with prominent cardiac involvement
