rs2023239 — CNR1
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele C Category Mood & Behavior Endocannabinoid, Addiction, Brain Health, Neurotransmitters, Stress Response, Cannabis

Intronic variant near the CNR1 exon 3 alternative promoter that modulates CB1 receptor mRNA isoform balance; the C (risk) allele is associated with greater hippocampal volume loss in heavy cannabis users, heightened cannabis withdrawal and craving

rs20455 — KIF6 Trp719Arg
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele G Category Coronary Artery Disease & Atherosclerosis Heart Disease, Cardiovascular, Statins, Pharmacogenomics, Atherosclerosis, Cholesterol

Missense variant in kinesin family member 6; the Arg allele was associated with elevated coronary heart disease risk and with substantially greater benefit from statin therapy in the CARE, WOSCOPS, PROSPER, and PROVE IT-TIMI 22 trials, though a large meta-analysis of 19 case-control studies found no independent CAD risk association

rs2275913 — IL17A -197G>A
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele A Category TNF, NF-kB & Inflammatory Cytokines Immune & Gut, Immune & Autoimmune, Inflammation, Autoimmune, Vitamin D, Omega-3

Promoter variant in the NFAT binding site that increases IL-17A transcription, elevating Th17-driven inflammation and autoimmune disease risk

Continue reading
rs2469434 — CD226
Chromosome 18 Risk Allele C Category Autoimmune Tolerance & T-Cell Regulation Autoimmune, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, T-Cell Regulation, Immune & Autoimmune, Inflammation

Deep-intronic variant in the CD226 (DNAM-1) co-stimulatory receptor gene associated with rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and altered neutrophil and white blood cell counts, likely acting as a regulatory variant that modulates CD226 expression in immune cells

Continue reading
rs2479106 — DENND1A
Chromosome 9 Risk Allele G Category Fertility & Ovarian Function PCOS, Fertility, Reproductive Health, Hormones, Testosterone, Insulin

Intronic variant in the androgen-regulating DENND1A gene associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) risk; the G allele is linked to increased PCOS susceptibility and elevated post-load insulin levels, primarily in East Asian and Han Chinese populations

Continue reading
rs2651899 — PRDM16
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele C Category Fat Storage & Energy Fat Metabolism, Thermogenesis, Cardiovascular, Blood Pressure, B Vitamins, Obesity

Intronic variant in the master regulator of brown/beige fat differentiation, GWAS-validated for migraine risk

Continue reading
rs28929474 — SERPINA1 Z allele (E342K)
Chromosome 14 Risk Allele T Category Metabolic Enzymes & Rare Disorders Detoxification, Lung Health, Liver Disease, Protease Inhibitor, Inflammation, Cardiovascular, Smoking Related

Most common alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency variant causing protein misfolding, lung disease, and liver disease

Continue reading
rs28936701 — CYP1B1 R469W
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele A Category Vascular Inflammation & Remodeling Glaucoma, Eye Health, Vision, Steroid Metabolism, Cardiovascular, Cancer Risk

Pathogenic CYP1B1 missense variant (Arg469Trp) that severely reduces enzyme activity and is a leading genetic cause of primary congenital glaucoma, particularly in Middle Eastern, Iranian, and Pakistani populations

Continue reading
rs3213094 — IL12B Promoter-region
Chromosome 5 Risk Allele C Category Psoriasis & Spondyloarthropathy Immune & Autoimmune, Psoriasis, Inflammation, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Biologic Therapy, Skin

Intronic IL12B variant in linkage with the promoter-regulatory haplotype; T allele is protective against psoriasis and associated with better ustekinumab (anti-p40) response
