rs4349859 — HLA-B HLA-B27 proxy
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele A Category Psoriasis & Spondyloarthropathy Immune System, Autoimmune, HLA, Arthritis, Inflammation, MHC Antigen Presentation

Intronic tag SNP located 41 kb centromeric of HLA-B and 5.4 kb telomeric of MICA; the A allele tags HLA-B*27:05 and related European HLA-B27 subtypes with 98% sensitivity and 99% specificity, serving as a genetic proxy for HLA-B27 status and enabling contextualization of ERAP1 × HLA-B27 epistasis in ankylosing spondylitis risk

rs4848306 — IL1B
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele G Category Endometriosis & Uterine Health Endometriosis, Inflammation, Women's Health, Reproductive Health, Immune Response

IL1B promoter -3737 G/A variant that modulates interleukin-1β expression; the A allele is associated with reduced IL-1β promoter activity, potentially lowering the chronic peritoneal inflammatory load implicated in endometriosis pathogenesis

rs4944653 — PRSS23 PRSS23 Ovarian Serine Protease
Chromosome 11 Risk Allele G Category Fertility & Ovarian Function PCOS, Ovarian Reserve, Fertility, Gonadotropins, Hormones, Reproductive Health

An intergenic tag SNP ~50 kb downstream of PRSS23 (serine protease 23) on chromosome 11q14.2; the G allele is associated with higher serum FSH levels in a dose-responsive pattern (AA 9.0, AG 9.5, GG 10.7 IU/L) and with PCOS susceptibility

rs4961 — ADD1 Gly460Trp
Chromosome 4 Risk Allele T Category Blood Pressure & Hypertension Hypertension, Salt Sensitivity, Blood Pressure, Kidney, Cardiovascular, Endothelial Health

Alpha-adducin missense variant that increases renal tubular sodium reabsorption by stabilizing Na+/K+-ATPase at the cell surface, causing salt-sensitive blood pressure elevation and impaired endothelial vasodilation in Trp allele carriers

Continue reading
rs520354 — APOB APOB IVS6+360
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele A Category Cholesterol & Lipoproteins Fat Metabolism, Cholesterol, Cardiovascular, Diet

Intronic APOB variant where the A allele (plus strand) is associated with approximately 2-fold increased bile duct cancer risk in men; the G allele is common in East Asian populations and carries no elevated biliary risk

rs61750584 — VWF I1628T
Chromosome 12 Risk Allele G Category Von Willebrand & Anticoagulant Proteins Blood Clotting, Cardiovascular, Genetic Counseling, Carrier Status, Thrombophilia

Missense variant in the VWF A2 domain that destabilizes the protein and increases ADAMTS13 cleavage, causing loss of high-molecular-weight multimers and von Willebrand disease type 2A with mucocutaneous bleeding

Continue reading
rs61816761 — FLG R501X
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele A Category Skin & Eyes Skin Health, Immune & Gut, Inflammation, Food Sensitivity, Asthma, Immune System

Nonsense variant eliminating filaggrin protein, the major genetic risk factor for atopic dermatitis and the atopic march from eczema to asthma and food allergy

rs62408925 — NCK1
Chromosome 3 Risk Allele T Category Appetite & Obesity Nephrology, Diabetes, Kidney Disease, Type 1 Diabetes, Chronic Kidney Disease

Intergenic regulatory variant near NCK1 at 3q22.3; in strong linkage disequilibrium (r²=0.95) with rs1866813, a remote cis-regulatory variant that increases NCK1 expression in glomerular podocytes, elevating risk of diabetic nephropathy in type 1 diabetes patients

Continue reading
rs6445975 — PXK
Chromosome 3 Risk Allele G Category B-Cell Immunity & Antibody-Mediated Disease Lupus, Autoimmune, B-Cell Signaling, Inflammation, Immune System, T-Cell Regulation

Intronic PXK variant; the G allele is a replicated GWAS risk allele for systemic lupus erythematosus in Europeans, acting through impaired receptor endocytosis and disrupted B-cell immune signalling

Continue reading
rs6905288 — VEGFA
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele A Category Vascular Inflammation & Remodeling Fat Metabolism, Cardiovascular, Insulin, Obesity

Adipose tissue vascularization variant near VEGFA influencing fat distribution, insulin resistance, and waist-to-hip ratio with strong female-specific effects
