rs4806660 — TMEM150B
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele C Category Endometriosis & Uterine Health Ovarian Reserve, Fertility, Reproductive Health, Menopause

Intronic variant in TMEM150B (19q13.42) associated with age at natural menopause and early menopause risk; the C allele may contribute to earlier follicular depletion.

rs482843 — CTH
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele G Category Blood Pressure & Hypertension Cardiovascular, Preeclampsia, Endothelial Health, Homocysteine, Oxidative Stress, Hypertension

Intronic CTH variant where GG homozygotes show significantly elevated preeclampsia risk; the G allele tags reduced placental H₂S production and impaired vascular adaptation during pregnancy, with no significant association with essential hypertension

rs4900442 — CYP46A1
Chromosome 14 Risk Allele C Category Cholesterol & Lipoproteins Brain Health, Cholesterol, Alzheimer's, Cognitive Decline, Neurodegeneration, Lipid Metabolism

Intronic variant in the brain cholesterol 24-hydroxylase gene; C allele associated with a higher 24S-hydroxycholesterol/cholesterol ratio in CSF and modestly elevated Alzheimer's disease risk, primarily in East Asian populations

rs6058017 — ASIP A8818G
Chromosome 20 Risk Allele A Category Skin & Eyes Pigmentation, Melanoma Risk, Sun Sensitivity, UV Protection, Skin, Hair & Pigmentation

3'UTR variant controlling ASIP protein output; G allele reduces ASIP mRNA 12-fold, promoting eumelanin and darker skin, hair, and eye pigmentation

rs61750581 — VWF S1613P
Chromosome 12 Risk Allele G Category Von Willebrand & Anticoagulant Proteins Blood Clotting, Cardiovascular, Carrier Status, Genetic Counseling, Women's Health, Thrombophilia

A2 domain missense variant in von Willebrand factor associated with type 2A von Willebrand disease; the proline substitution destabilizes the A2 domain, increasing susceptibility to ADAMTS13 proteolysis and depleting high-molecular-weight multimers required for platelet adhesion

rs6232 — PCSK1 PCSK1 N221D (Asn221Asp)
Chromosome 5 Risk Allele C Category Appetite & Obesity Obesity, Insulin, Appetite, Pancreatic Beta Cell, Energy Metabolism, Satiety

Missense variant in PCSK1 encoding an Asn221Asp substitution near the Ca-1 calcium binding site of prohormone convertase 1/3 (PC1/3); impairs catalytic activity by approximately 10%, reducing cleavage of proinsulin to insulin, POMC to alpha-MSH, and proglucagon to GLP-1; the strongest functionally-characterized common PCSK1 coding variant, with OR 1.15 for obesity in meta-analysis of over 331,000 individuals across multiple ethnic groups

rs641153 — CFB R32Q
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele G Category B-Cell Immunity & Antibody-Mediated Disease Eye Health, Complement System, Inflammation, Aging, Autoimmune

Protective missense variant in complement factor B that reduces alternative pathway C3 convertase formation, lowering AMD risk by roughly half and dampening complement-driven tissue damage

Continue reading
rs662 — PON1 Q192R
Chromosome 7 Risk Allele C Category Vascular Inflammation & Remodeling Cardiovascular, Detoxification, Cholesterol, Diet, Organophosphate Toxicity

Affects paraoxonase-1 enzyme activity for detoxifying organophosphates and protecting LDL from oxidation

Continue reading
rs688 — LDLR Asn591Asn (c.1773C>T)
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele T Category Atherogenic Lipoproteins Cardiovascular, Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, Lipid Metabolism, Statins, Heart Disease

Synonymous LDLR variant that disrupts exon 12 splicing, reduces LDL receptor surface expression by ~22%, and raises LDL cholesterol — particularly in pre-menopausal women

Continue reading
rs7167936 — CYP19A1 CYP19A1 intronic variant
Chromosome 15 Risk Allele G Category Reproductive Hormones Aromatase, Estrogen, Breast Cancer, Fertility, Reproductive Health, Cancer Risk

Intronic variant near the CYP19A1 promoter region, falling within MIR4713HG but mapping to the CYP19A1 RefSeqGene locus; associated with breast cancer histological grade and tumor size in a Swedish cohort, consistent with its position in the aromatase regulatory zone
