rs4252185 — PLG
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele C Category Innate Immunity & Infection Defense Innate Immunity, Fibrinolysis, Cardiovascular, Infection Risk, Inflammation

Intronic PLG variant (intron 1) whose C allele is enriched in Europeans and appears in cardiovascular GWAS signals at the PLG/LPA locus; PLG encodes plasminogen, the serine-protease zymogen central to fibrinolysis, macrophage recruitment, and innate mucosal immunity

rs4888378 — CFDP1
Chromosome 16 Risk Allele G Category Coronary Artery Disease & Atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular, Heart Disease, Endothelial Health, Inflammation

Intronic CFDP1 locus variant that regulates BCAR1 expression in vascular tissue via FOXA binding; the A allele reduces BCAR1 levels and is associated with lower carotid intima-media thickness progression and reduced coronary artery disease risk, with the protective effect strongest in women

rs61752717 — MEFV M694V
Chromosome 16 Risk Allele C Category TNF, NF-kB & Inflammatory Cytokines Autoimmune, Inflammation, Amyloidosis, Carrier Status, Innate Immunity, Arthritis

The most common and clinically severe MEFV mutation, converting methionine to valine at codon 694 of pyrin; homozygous carriers typically develop full familial Mediterranean fever with early onset, frequent attacks, and high amyloidosis risk if untreated with colchicine

Continue reading
rs61754002 — VWF Y357X
Chromosome 12 Risk Allele T Category Von Willebrand & Anticoagulant Proteins Blood Clotting, Cardiovascular, Carrier Status, Genetic Counseling, Thrombosis, Heart Disease, Thrombophilia

Nonsense mutation creating a premature stop codon in von Willebrand factor; null allele associated with von Willebrand disease

Continue reading
rs6542095 — IL1A IL1A rs6542095
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele C Category Endometriosis & Uterine Health Endometriosis, Inflammation, Fertility, Reproductive Health, Women's Health, Immune Response

Regulatory variant near the IL1A (Interleukin-1 alpha) gene associated with moderate-to-severe endometriosis risk; the C allele increases risk (OR 1.21)

Continue reading
rs7152376 — NFKBIA
Chromosome 14 Risk Allele C Category Psoriasis & Spondyloarthropathy Autoimmune, Psoriasis, Arthritis, Inflammation, Bone & Joint, Biologic Therapy

Regulatory variant upstream of NFKBIA that specifically elevates risk of psoriatic arthritis over skin-only psoriasis, with a 3.2-fold odds ratio distinguishing arthritic from cutaneous-only disease in psoriasis patients
