What is the rs1136410 variant?

rs1136410 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the PARP1 (Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase 1) gene. It belongs to the Dna Repair category and is part of the DNA Repair & Genomic Stability biological cluster. PARP1 detects DNA strand breaks and synthesizes poly(ADP-ribose) chains to recruit repair factors. It consumes large amounts of NAD+ during DNA damage responses and is a major regulator of cell death decisions.

Biological role and pathway

This variant sits within the PARP1 gene, which is involved in the DNA damage response pathway. Genes within the DNA Repair & Genomic Stability cluster work together to maintain balanced function across interconnected biological systems.

Variants in genes within this pathway may influence an individual's predisposition to altered function — particularly under conditions of physiological stress such as viral infection or prolonged illness.

rs1136410 and Long COVID / ME-CFS research

PARP1 activation during viral infection can deplete cellular NAD+ stores. PARP1 variants may affect the balance between DNA repair and NAD+ availability, influencing both viral clearance efficiency and post-infectious energy depletion.

Frequently asked questions

What is the rs1136410 variant in the PARP1 gene?

rs1136410 is a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located in the PARP1 (Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase 1) gene, which is involved in DNA damage response. PARP1 detects DNA strand breaks and synthesizes poly(ADP-ribose) chains to recruit repair factors. It consumes large amounts of NAD+ during DNA damage responses and is a major regulator of cell death decisions.

How may the rs1136410 variant relate to Long COVID or ME/CFS?

PARP1 activation during viral infection can deplete cellular NAD+ stores. PARP1 variants may affect the balance between DNA repair and NAD+ availability, influencing both viral clearance efficiency and post-infectious energy depletion.

Can a consumer DNA test detect the rs1136410 variant?

Many consumer DNA tests such as 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and MyHeritage genotype common SNPs. ChronicDNA analyses your raw DNA file and reports on variants studied in relation to chronic illness, immune function, and metabolism. This is not a diagnostic service — results are informational and educational only.
