COMT · rs4680 · A/G
COMT Val/Met — intermediate dopamine clearance
TypicalReplicated
One Val (fast) and one Met (slow) allele. Mid-range prefrontal dopamine.
Val158Met is the famous warrior/worrier SNP. Heterozygotes sit in the middle: more flexible than Met/Met under stress, less dopamine-sticky than Val/Val. This is a temperament tendency, not a diagnosis. rs4633 is also heterozygous; rs6269 is A/A.
ACTN3 · rs1815739 · C/C
ACTN3 RR — power genotype
FavorableReplicated
Two functional R alleles. Fast-twitch fibers express α-actinin-3. Sprint / strength biased.
The X allele (T) prematurely stops the protein. XX is over-represented in endurance elites; RR is over-represented in power sports. RR is the most common genotype worldwide. It is a training hint: this genome should respond well to heavy resistance and high-intensity intervals. It does not make anyone an athlete by itself.
Bias training toward strength and power if the goal is physique or sport. Endurance is still fully trainable.
FOXO3 · rs2802292 · G/T
One FOXO3 longevity allele
FavorableReplicated
Heterozygous for the G allele repeatedly associated with healthy aging in several populations.
FOXO3 is a forkhead transcription factor downstream of insulin/IGF signaling. The G allele of rs2802292 is the most replicated common longevity SNP. Effect is modest and shows up most clearly in centenarian studies. One copy is the common intermediate.
BDNF · rs6265 · C/C
BDNF Val/Val
TypicalReplicated
Two Val66 alleles. Typical activity-dependent BDNF secretion.
Met66 (A/T depending on strand) reduces activity-dependent BDNF release and has mixed associations with memory and exercise response. C/C on this chip is Val/Val, the common higher-secretion genotype.
HERC2 rs12913832 G/G almost always means blue irises in European-ancestry people.
This SNP controls an OCA2 enhancer. G/G suppresses OCA2 in the iris. OCA2 rs1800407 is C/C (no brown-restoring Arg419Gln). Combined with European SLC24A5 and SLC45A2, pigmentation is light-European.
Derived light-skin alleles at the two largest-effect loci, plus one TYR S192Y.
SLC24A5 A111 (A/A) and SLC45A2 L374 (G/G) are nearly fixed in Northern Europe. TYR S192Y is heterozygous. MC1R red-hair alleles R151C and R160W are absent. Higher UV vigilance than a deeply pigmented genotype, lower than MC1R red-hair.
Not the East Asian dry-earwax / low-odor allele.
T/T at rs17822931 is the derived East Asian variant (dry cerumen, reduced apocrine odor). C/C is the ancestral wet-earwax type common in Europe and Africa.
One tasting and one non-tasting TAS2R38 haplotype. PTC and similar bitters taste moderately bitter.
The three SNPs form PAV (taster) and AVI (non-taster) haplotypes. Heterozygotes are intermediate. This affects broccoli, kale, coffee, and tonic water more than it affects health.
The C/T soapy-cilantro allele is absent.
rs72921001 C/T near OR6A2 is the most cited cilantro-soap association. A/A is the like-cilantro side of that SNP. Culture and other odorant receptors still matter.
One O deletion and no B-defining allele. Most consistent with A.
rs8176719 D is the O-type single-base deletion; I is A or B. Heterozygous D/I means not group O. rs8176746 G/G is the non-B background used on this chip. rs505922 C (non-O tag) is present once. This is a genetic inference, not a transfusion type — a serology card still wins.
The CHRNA5 D398N and linked CHRNA3 alleles associated with heavier smoking and lung-cancer risk are absent.
These variants increase cigarettes-per-day and lung-cancer risk even after adjusting for smoking quantity. G/G at both is the lower-risk European background. Smoking is still the dominant risk.
CLOCK 3111C, MTNR1B rs10830963 G, and ADA 22G are all absent.
MTNR1B G raises fasting glucose and shifts melatonin signaling — C/C is the easier metabolic genotype. CLOCK 3111C has been tied to delayed sleep; A/A is 3111T/T. ADA 22G can lengthen deep sleep; it is absent. Sleep hygiene still wins.
COL1A1 · rs1800012 · A/C
One COL1A1 Sp1 allele
TraitModerate
Heterozygous for a collagen type I variant sometimes tied to lower BMD and soft-tissue injury.
Literature is mixed and effect sizes are small. Worth remembering if there is a fracture or tendon-injury pattern, not worth changing life around.
The low-D2 Taq1A A1 allele is absent. Intermediate C957T.
Taq1A A1 (A) is associated with fewer striatal D2 receptors and a slightly higher addiction vulnerability in some studies. G/G is A2/A2. rs6277 is a synonymous DRD2 SNP with mixed cognitive literature.
TP53 · rs1042522 · C/G
p53 Pro72Arg — heterozygous
TraitModerate
One Pro and one Arg at codon 72. Common cosmopolitan genotype.
Arg72 is a bit more apoptotic, Pro72 a bit more cell-cycle arrest, in older literature. Population effects on cancer are small and inconsistent. No action.
A common lower-IL6 promoter genotype and no TNF −308A high-expression allele.
These promoter SNPs have a large, messy literature. They are not clinical tests. The pattern is not a high-inflammatory promoter load.
