rs200482978 — SLC39A4
Chromosome 8 Risk Allele T Category Iron & Mineral Transport Zinc, Minerals, Micronutrients, Digestive Health, Skin Health, Carrier Status

Pathogenic nonsense variant in the intestinal zinc transporter ZIP4, creating a premature stop codon (p.Trp401Ter) that abolishes ZIP4 function and causes autosomal recessive acrodermatitis enteropathica when inherited biallelically; heterozygous carriers retain adequate zinc absorption under normal conditions but warrant monitoring during high-demand states

rs201408742 — GPR174
Chromosome X Risk Allele A Category TNF, NF-kB & Inflammatory Cytokines Autoimmune, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Inflammation, T-Cell Regulation, Immune Function, Ancestry-Specific

X-linked intergenic variant near GPR174 (G protein-coupled receptor 174), a lysophosphatidylserine receptor expressed in lymphoid tissues; associated with modest rheumatoid arthritis risk, part of a GWAS signal at the GPR174/Xq21.1 locus

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

rs216311 — VWF Thr1381Ala
Chromosome 12 Risk Allele C Category Von Willebrand & Anticoagulant Proteins Thrombosis, Blood Clotting, Cardiovascular, Thrombophilia, Venous Health, Heart Disease

Missense variant in VWF at codon 1381 (Thr→Ala); the Ala allele (C on plus strand) is the global majority allele and is associated with higher circulating von Willebrand factor levels and elevated thrombotic risk

rs2228000 — XPC Ala499Val
Chromosome 3 Risk Allele A Category Cancer Risk Cancer Risk, DNA Repair, Bladder Cancer, Breast Cancer, Smoking Interaction, Cancer Screening

Missense variant in the DNA damage recognition gene XPC that moderately reduces nucleotide excision repair capacity, with elevated risk for bladder and breast cancer, particularly in homozygous carriers and those with carcinogen exposure

Continue reading
rs2248932 — BLK Promoter/Intronic
Chromosome 8 Risk Allele A Category B-Cell Immunity & Antibody-Mediated Disease Autoimmune, Lupus, Immune System, Immune & Autoimmune, B-Cell Signaling, Rheumatoid Arthritis

Intronic BLK variant in the FAM167A-BLK regulatory locus that reduces B-lymphoid kinase expression and independently raises risk for systemic lupus erythematosus and related autoimmune diseases

Continue reading
rs2296241 — CYP24A1
Chromosome 20 Risk Allele G Category Vitamin D Metabolism Vitamin D, Cancer Risk, Liver Disease, Metabolic, Immune Function, Mineral Metabolism

Synonymous coding variant in CYP24A1 (vitamin D 24-hydroxylase) that tags functional haplotypes influencing vitamin D catabolism efficiency and cancer susceptibility

Continue reading
rs2303729 — LTBP4
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele G Category Gamete Quality & DNA Repair Fibrosis, Muscle, Muscle Development, Cardiovascular, Connective Tissue, Fitness

Missense variant in LTBP4 encoding Val194Ile; the A allele (Ile) forms the IAAM haplotype that binds latent TGF-β1 with higher avidity, reducing free TGF-β signaling and acting as a protective modifier of Duchenne muscular dystrophy severity — IAAM homozygotes retain ambulation approximately 1.8 years longer than VTTT carriers under glucocorticoid treatment

Continue reading
rs2968863 — KCNH2
Chromosome 7 Risk Allele T Category Arrhythmia & Heart Rhythm Arrhythmia, Cardiovascular, Heart Disease, Genetic Counseling

Intergenic variant near KCNH2 (hERG potassium channel) at 7q36.1 that shortens QTc interval and confers ~2.4x increased risk of early-onset lone atrial fibrillation in homozygous T allele carriers

Continue reading
rs2972164 — PPARG
Chromosome 3 Risk Allele T Category Liver Fat Fat Metabolism, Insulin, Insulin Resistance, Metabolic, Diabetes, Lipid Metabolism

Intronic PPARG variant associated with rate of change in insulin sensitivity over time, independent of adiposity
