rs1799987 — CCR5 CCR5 Promoter -2459A>G
Chromosome 3 Risk Allele A Category Vascular Inflammation & Remodeling Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular, Inflammation, Immune Function, Infection Risk, Autoimmune

Regulatory variant in the CCR5 promoter that reduces CCR5 expression by ~45%; the G allele lowers surface CCR5 density on immune cells, slowing HIV disease progression, while the A allele drives higher CCR5 levels and greater monocyte recruitment to atherosclerotic plaques

rs1800630 — TNF -863C>A
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele A Category TNF, NF-kB & Inflammatory Cytokines Immune & Autoimmune, Inflammation, Anti-TNF Biologics, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis

TNF promoter variant that disrupts NF-κB p50-p50 binding, reducing TNF-alpha production by ~31% and influencing susceptibility to autoimmune disease and biologic treatment response

rs185392267 — PCSK9 Arg96Cys
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele T Category Cholesterol & Lipoproteins Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, Cardiovascular, Heart Disease, Lipid Metabolism, Statins

Gain-of-function missense variant in PCSK9 that increases intracellular LDL receptor degradation, causing autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia

rs2070699 — EDN1 EDN1 G2288T Intronic Variant
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele T Category Blood Pressure & Hypertension Cardiovascular, Blood Pressure, Nitric Oxide, Thrombosis, Arrhythmia, Heart Disease, Thrombophilia

Intronic EDN1 variant modulating endothelin-1 expression; the T allele associates with elevated ET-1 levels, increased risk of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, aneurysm rebleeding after subarachnoid hemorrhage, and altered nitric oxide metabolism in women

Continue reading
rs2075674 — TFR2 TFR2 Ala617 variant
Chromosome 7 Risk Allele A Category Iron & Mineral Transport Iron, Eye Health, Retinal Health, Oxidative Stress, Liver Health, Micronutrients

Synonymous coding variant in transferrin receptor 2 with potential splice-modifying activity, associated with age-related macular degeneration in case-control studies via iron-mediated retinal oxidative stress

Continue reading
rs2153157 — SYCP2L SYCP2L splice-efficiency variant
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele G Category Fertility & Ovarian Function Ovarian Reserve, Menopause, Fertility, Reproductive Health, Women's Health, Genomic Stability

Intronic SYCP2L variant in a U12-type minor intron; the A allele splices more efficiently in oocytes, raising SYCP2L expression and supporting primordial follicle survival — the G allele reduces expression and associates with earlier natural menopause

Continue reading
rs2229616 — MC4R V103I
Chromosome 18 Risk Allele T Category Appetite & Obesity Appetite, Obesity, Metabolic, Metabolic Health, Cardiovascular, Triglycerides

Missense variant in MC4R converting valine to isoleucine at position 103; the I103 allele confers modest but replicable protection against obesity and improves metabolic syndrome components

Continue reading
rs2234067 — ETV7 ETV7 rs2234067
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele C Category Interferon Signaling & Systemic Autoimmune Rheumatoid Arthritis, Autoimmune, Inflammation, Interferon, T-Cell Regulation, Immune Response

Upstream regulatory variant near ETV7, an interferon-inducible transcriptional repressor; the common C allele is associated with moderately increased rheumatoid arthritis risk, while the rare A allele is protective
