Some variants offer some protection against certain disease or at least slow down the progression of disease. Or so we think...
rs1799864 = A (minor allele A is associated with slower HIV progression).
rs1799990 = G (If heterozygous some resistance to prion diseases like Creutzfeldt Jacobs).
rs601338 = A (If homozygous for minor allele A there is some resistance to norovirus but may have increased risk for celiac and IBD).
rs8177374 = T (With minor allele T less susceptible to malaria, tuberculosis, bacteremia and pneumococcal disease). Good thing I have one T! The minor allele is not the most common either with minor allele frequency (MAF) of 0.084.
rs2853826 = G (Some resistance to developing Parkinson's disease. The snp is on the mtDNA. Interesting).
rs4804803 = A (Some protection against tuberculosis).
rs1334512 = G (Decreased risk for developing severe malaria).
