rs2004776 — AGT
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele T Category Blood Pressure & Hypertension Blood Pressure, Cardiovascular, Hypertension, Salt Sensitivity, Kidney Function, Heart Disease

Intronic regulatory variant in angiotensinogen intron I that enhances HNF3β transcription factor binding, increases AGT expression, and raises blood pressure by 12–13 mmHg in transgenic models

rs201363394 — SERPING1 Arg400Cys
Chromosome 11 Risk Allele T Category B-Cell Immunity & Antibody-Mediated Disease Complement System, Genetic Counseling, Carrier Status, Inflammation, Autoimmune, Hereditary Angioedema

Pathogenic missense variant in SERPING1 encoding C1-inhibitor; the Arg400Cys substitution disrupts protein folding and causes hereditary angioedema type 1 through C1-INH deficiency — heterozygous carriers develop recurrent angioedema attacks, while the rare homozygous state produces severe HAE with additional complement depletion

rs2282679 — GC
Chromosome 4 Risk Allele G Category Vitamin D Metabolism Vitamin D, Bone Health, Cardiovascular, Diet, Micronutrients, Mineral Metabolism

Intronic GWAS tag variant in the vitamin D binding protein gene, the strongest common genetic determinant of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels

Continue reading
rs2303428 — MSH2
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele C Category Gamete Quality & DNA Repair Mismatch Repair, DNA Repair, Genomic Stability, Cancer Risk, RNA Splicing, Chemotherapy

Splice-region variant in MSH2 (c.2006-6T>C) located 6 bases upstream of exon 13 in the mismatch repair gene; the C allele is associated with altered mismatch repair expression and modestly elevated cancer prognosis signals across multiple tumour types; classified benign for Lynch syndrome

rs2642438 — MTARC1 p.Ala165Thr (A165T)
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele G Category Liver Fat Liver Health, Fat Metabolism, Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Diet

Protective missense variant that reduces MTARC1 protein stability, cutting hepatic fat accumulation and lowering risk of NAFLD, NASH, and liver-related death

Continue reading
rs28942111 — PCSK9 S127R
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele A Category Atherogenic Lipoproteins Cardiovascular, Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, Heart Disease, Atherosclerosis, Statins

Gain-of-function PCSK9 missense variant (Ser127Arg) causing autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia through enhanced LDL receptor degradation; rare but highly penetrant, carriers have severely elevated LDL-C and premature coronary artery disease

Continue reading
rs2911463 — PIEZO1
Chromosome 16 Risk Allele G Category Arrhythmia & Heart Rhythm Cardiovascular, Endothelial Health, Heart Disease, Blood Pressure, Inflammation, Exercise, Venous Health

Intronic variant in PIEZO1, the endothelial mechanosensory ion channel that senses blood flow shear stress; the G allele is associated with elevated varicose vein risk in genome-wide studies of over 800,000 individuals
