rs693 — APOB XbaI (C/T)
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele A Category Atherogenic Lipoproteins Cardiovascular, Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Diet

Silent variant affecting LDL particle number and lipid metabolism; A allele carriers have higher ApoB, LDL-C, and total cholesterol levels

rs727428 — SHBG SHBG +1091 C>T
Chromosome 17 Risk Allele T Category Reproductive Hormones Steroid Hormones, Hormones, Testosterone, PCOS, Fertility, Metabolic Syndrome

Regulatory variant 1 kb downstream of the SHBG gene that reduces sex hormone-binding globulin levels; the T allele lowers SHBG by ~10–20%, increasing free testosterone and free estradiol bioavailability and elevating risk for PCOS and androgen-driven metabolic dysfunction.

rs7454108 — HLA-DQB1 DQ8 tag
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele C Category Interferon Signaling & Systemic Autoimmune Immune & Autoimmune, Celiac Disease, Type 1 Diabetes, Gluten Sensitivity, HLA Typing

Tag SNP identifying HLA-DQ8 haplotype, second strongest genetic risk factor for celiac disease and major type 1 diabetes risk marker

rs12693542 — SLC40A1
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele G Category Neurology & Cognition Iron, Sleep, Brain Health, Neurological Risk, Neuroinflammation

Regulatory variant upstream of ferroportin (the sole cellular iron exporter) linked to restless legs syndrome

rs13424006 — IL1RL1
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele T Category Allergy & Atopic Disease Asthma, Inflammation, Immune System, Lung Health, Immune & Autoimmune

Intronic IL1RL1 variant in the 10th intron of the ST2 receptor gene; C allele is protective against late-onset wheeze and eosinophilic airway inflammation, reducing risk by approximately 26% per C allele copy in European birth cohorts

rs1799817 — INSR His1085His
Chromosome 19 Risk Allele A Category Blood Sugar & Diabetes PCOS, Insulin Resistance, Insulin, Hormones, Diabetes, Reproductive Health

Synonymous variant in the tyrosine kinase domain of the insulin receptor; the A risk allele (plus-strand) is associated with PCOS susceptibility and insulin resistance in lean women, possibly through altered mRNA processing near the ATP-binding site of the receptor kinase domain

rs1799883 — FABP2 Ala54Thr
Chromosome 4 Risk Allele T Category Triglycerides & Fatty Acids Fat Metabolism, Diet, Insulin

Intestinal fat absorption - affects how efficiently you absorb dietary fat

rs1799930 — NAT2 R197Q
Chromosome 8 Risk Allele A Category Methylation & Detox Detoxification, Acetylation, Drug Metabolism, Phase II, Xenobiotics

Slow acetylator variant affecting Phase II detoxification capacity

Continue reading
rs1800460 — TPMT *3B
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele T Category Pharmacogenomics Drug Metabolism, Immunosuppressants, Blood Thinners, Pharmacogenomics

Decreased-function variant causing reduced thiopurine methylation; pairs with TPMT*3C on the same chromosome to form the TPMT*3A haplotype, the most common cause of TPMT deficiency in Europeans

Continue reading
rs2144908 — HNF4A HNF4A P2 Block rs2144908
Chromosome 20 Risk Allele A Category Hormones & Sleep Diabetes, Insulin, Metabolic Health, Liver Health, Hormones, Pancreatic Beta Cell

Intronic HNF4A P2 promoter haplotype tag variant; carriers have modestly impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and elevated type 2 diabetes susceptibility
