rs314276 — LIN28B
Chromosome 6 Risk Allele C Category Fertility & Ovarian Function Puberty Timing, Fertility, Reproductive Health, Hormones, Uterine Fibroids

Intronic variant in LIN28B associated with puberty timing — the C allele may be linked to earlier menarche in females and earlier puberty milestones in males, with implications for reproductive window length and cumulative estrogen exposure

rs3212227 — IL12B 3'UTR
Chromosome 5 Risk Allele T Category Psoriasis & Spondyloarthropathy Immune & Autoimmune, Psoriasis, Inflammation, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Biologic Therapy, Skin

IL12B 3'-UTR variant forming the canonical two-SNP psoriasis risk haplotype with rs6887695; T allele (coding-strand A, risk) drives 12.5-fold higher IL12B expression and substantially elevated psoriasis susceptibility; G allele is protective and predicts better ustekinumab response

rs35829419 — NLRP3 Q705K
Chromosome 1 Risk Allele A Category Innate Immunity & Infection Defense Immune & Gut, Inflammation, Gout, IBD, Innate Immunity, Omega-3

Gain-of-function missense variant in the NLRP3 inflammasome sensor that elevates baseline IL-1beta and IL-18 production, increasing susceptibility to gout, inflammatory bowel disease, and metabolic inflammation

rs369504169 — PROC p.Arg42His (c.125G>A)
Chromosome 2 Risk Allele A Category Von Willebrand & Anticoagulant Proteins Blood Clotting, Cardiovascular, Thrombophilia, Thrombosis, Blood Thinners, Genetic Counseling

Rare missense variant in the PROC gene encoding protein C; the A allele substitutes histidine for arginine at position 42, partially impairing anticoagulant function and increasing venous thromboembolism risk 3-7 fold in heterozygous carriers

rs4580649 — SLC2A9 SLC2A9 rs4580649
Chromosome 4 Risk Allele G Category Uric Acid & Kidney Function Gout, Uric Acid, Kidney Function, Micronutrients, Cardiovascular

Intronic variant in the major renal urate transporter SLC2A9 (GLUT9); the A allele tags a protective haplotype associated with more efficient renal urate excretion, while the G allele (population major in East Asians where gout prevalence is highest) tags reduced clearance and elevated serum uric acid — following the same population gradient as other SLC2A9 protective intronic variants

rs4704397 — PDE8B PDE8B TSH-associated variant
Chromosome 5 Risk Allele A Category Reproductive Hormones Thyroid, Fertility, Reproductive Health, Hormones, Women's Health

Intronic variant in PDE8B (phosphodiesterase 8B) strongly associated with serum TSH levels; each A allele raises TSH by ~0.13 mIU/L through reduced cAMP degradation in thyroid tissue, with consequences for ovulatory function, implantation, and pregnancy maintenance

rs4810485 — CD40
Chromosome 20 Risk Allele G Category B-Cell Immunity & Antibody-Mediated Disease Immune & Autoimmune, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Inflammation, Bone Health, Immune & Gut, B-Cell Signaling, Autoimmune, Thyroid, Biologic Therapy

Intronic variant in CD40 regulating B-cell surface expression; the G allele drives higher CD40 levels and is shared risk across rheumatoid arthritis, SLE, Crohn's disease, and multiple sclerosis

Continue reading
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

Continue reading
rs524952 — GJD2
Chromosome 15 Risk Allele A Category Skin & Eyes Eye Health, Vision, Neurotransmitters

Intergenic variant near GJD2 affecting myopia risk and axial eye growth through retinal gap junction signaling

Continue reading
rs5756504 — TMPRSS6 TMPRSS6 variant
Chromosome 22 Risk Allele C Category Iron & Mineral Transport Iron, Micronutrients, Cardiovascular, Vitamins

Intronic TMPRSS6 variant associated with hemoglobin levels and erythrocyte parameters through the hepcidin-regulatory pathway, independently contributing to iron status alongside the rs855791 coding variant
