Zinc and manganese transporter variant that reduces metal ion absorption, affecting gut barrier function and microbiome composition
Missense variant in the XPD helicase that reduces nucleotide excision repair capacity, increasing susceptibility to DNA damage from UV, tobacco smoke, and environmental carcinogens
Pathogenic NOTCH3 missense variant p.Arg332Cys that alters the cysteine count in EGF-like repeat 6, causing CADASIL — the most common inherited cause of ischemic stroke and vascular dementia
STAR missense variant abolishing steroidogenic activity; homozygous carriers develop lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia with absent cortisol, aldosterone, and sex hormone production
Most common LCHAD deficiency variant; homozygosity causes severe mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid oxidation failure with cardiomyopathy, rhabdomyolysis, and neuropathy; carrier mothers of affected fetuses risk maternal HELLP syndrome and acute fatty liver of pregnancy
FTO intron 8 variant associated with nominal spine bone mineral density effects and alcohol dependence susceptibility; low LD with the rs9939609 obesity cluster
An intronic insertion/deletion variant in the neuropeptide S receptor 1 gene associated with stage III/IV endometriosis; the deletion allele tags regulatory variation that amplifies NPSR1-driven neuroinflammatory signalling in the peritoneal environment, implicating a nonhormonal pain and inflammation pathway in advanced disease.
Intronic variant in the adiponectin gene that influences circulating adiponectin levels, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic response to diet; the T allele is associated with lower adiponectin and higher insulin resistance
Promoter variant in neuropeptide Y that modulates NPY expression under stress, affecting stress resilience, anxiety vulnerability, appetite regulation, and migraine susceptibility
Intronic variant in FSTL4 (Follistatin-Like 4) on chromosome 5q31; heterozygous GC carriers show a ~23% reduction in type 1 diabetes risk in the WTCCC genome-wide association study, though the 5q31 causal gene remains disputed due to extensive regional linkage disequilibrium
