rs3126085 — FLG
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele A Category Skin & Eyes Skin Health, Inflammation, Immune System, Skin, Hair & Pigmentation, Skin & Eyes

Intronic regulatory variant in the filaggrin gene locus that reduces FLG expression and increases atopic dermatitis (eczema) susceptibility; A allele is markedly more common in East Asian and African populations

rs353478 — UIMC1 UIMC1 DNA Damage Response Variant
Chromosome 5 Risk Allele T Category Gamete Quality & DNA Repair Ovarian Reserve, Menopause, DNA Repair, Double-Strand Break Repair, Fertility, Women's Health

An intronic variant in UIMC1 (RAP80), the core ubiquitin-binding subunit of the BRCA1-A complex that recruits BRCA1 to DNA double-strand breaks; the T allele is associated with earlier age at natural menopause, implicating reduced DNA repair fidelity in accelerated ovarian ageing

rs36053993 — MUTYH G396D
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele T Category Cancer Risk Cancer Risk, DNA Repair, Base Excision Repair, Colorectal Cancer, Carrier Status

Second most common pathogenic MUTYH variant; biallelic carriers develop MUTYH-Associated Polyposis with ~10-fold increased colorectal cancer risk, while heterozygous carriers have modestly elevated CRC risk (OR ~1.2-1.5)

rs3733197 — BANK1 A383T
Chromosome 4 Risk Allele G Category B-Cell Immunity & Antibody-Mediated Disease Autoimmune, Lupus, Immune System, Immune & Gut, B-Cell Signaling, Rheumatoid Arthritis

BANK1 ankyrin-domain missense variant that amplifies B-cell receptor signaling through altered protein-protein interactions; the G allele (Ala383) confers risk for lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic sclerosis, with RA risk requiring epistatic co-presence of BLK rs13277113

Continue reading
rs3733591 — SLC2A9 Arg265His
Chromosome 4 Risk Allele C Category Uric Acid & Kidney Function Gout, Cardiovascular, Diet, Uric Acid

Missense variant in the major renal urate transporter; the Arg265 (C) allele is associated with less efficient urate excretion, elevating serum uric acid and gout risk, with the strongest effects in East Asian populations and in women

Continue reading
rs3755351 — ADD2
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele T Category Blood Pressure & Hypertension Blood Pressure, Cardiovascular, Hypertension, Kidney Function, Renal Function

Intronic variant in beta-adducin modulating renal Na+/K+-ATPase trafficking and sodium reabsorption, associated with hypertension susceptibility in a Japanese GWAS

Continue reading
rs397508077 — KCNQ1 Long QT Type 1 Variant 4 (c.1124_1127del)
Chromosome 11 Risk Allele D Category Arrhythmia & Heart Rhythm Arrhythmia, Cardiovascular, Heart Disease, Genetic Counseling, Carrier Status

Pathogenic 4bp frameshift deletion in KCNQ1 that eliminates the IKs potassium channel's C-terminal domain, causing autosomal dominant Long QT syndrome type 1 with characteristic exercise- and swimming-triggered cardiac events

Continue reading
rs4220 — FGB Arg448Lys (R448K)
Chromosome 4 Risk Allele A Category Coagulation & Clotting Factors Blood Clotting, Cardiovascular, Thrombosis, Inflammation, Fibrinolysis, Blood Pressure, Thrombophilia

Missense variant in the fibrinogen beta chain that elevates circulating fibrinogen levels and alters fibrin network architecture, with sex-specific effects on hypertension risk in men

Continue reading
rs5128 — APOC3 3238C>G (SstI)
Chromosome 11 Risk Allele G Category Atherogenic Lipoproteins Triglycerides, Cardiovascular, Cholesterol, Diet, Fat Metabolism, Inflammation

Regulates triglyceride metabolism through effects on APOC3 expression in the 3'UTR

Continue reading
rs58542926 — TM6SF2 E167K
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele T Category Liver Fat Metabolic, Cardiovascular, Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Liver Health, Diet

Lipid transport variant that impairs VLDL secretion, creating a paradoxical trade-off between liver and heart health
