Common genetic variants interact with environmental factors to impact risk of heritable diseases. A notable example of this is a single-nucleotide variant in the Solute Carrier Family 39 Member 8 (SLC39A8) gene encoding the missense variant A391T, which is associated with a variety of traits ranging from Parkinson's disease and neuropsychiatric disease to cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and Crohn's disease. The remarkable extent of pleiotropy exhibited by SLC39A8 A391T raises key questions regarding how a single coding variant
