  • A scalable variational inference approach for increased mixed-model association power - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39789286

    ABSTRACT: The rapid growth of modern biobanks is creating new opportunities for large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and the analysis of complex traits. However, performing GWASs on millions of samples often leads to trade-offs between computational efficiency and statistical power, reducing the benefits of large-scale data collection efforts. We developed Quickdraws, a method that increases association power in quantitative and binary traits without sacrificing computational efficiency, leveraging a spike-and-slab prior on variant effects, stochastic variational inference and graphics processing unit acceleration. We applied Quickdraws to 79 quantitative and 50 binary traits in 405,088 UK Biobank samples, identifying 4.97% and 3.25% more associations than REGENIE and 22.71%

  • Fine-mapping of an expanded set of type 2 diabetes loci to single-variant resolution using high-density imputation and islet-specific epigenome maps - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30297969

    ABSTRACT: We aggregated genome-wide genotyping data from 32 European-descent GWAS (74,124 T2D cases, 824,006 controls) imputed to high-density reference panels of >30,000 sequenced haplotypes. Analysis of ˜27M variants (˜21M with minor allele frequency [MAF]<5%), identified 243 genome-wide significant loci (p<5x10-8; MAF 0.02%-50%; odds ratio [OR] 1.04-8.05), 135 not previously-implicated in T2D-predisposition. Conditional analyses revealed 160 additional distinct association signals (p<10-5) within the identified loci. The combined set of 403 T2D-risk signals includes 56 low-frequency (0.5%≤MAF<5%) and 24 rare (MAF<0.5%) index SNPs at 60 loci, including 14 with estimated allelic OR>2. Forty-one of the signals displayed effect-size heterogeneity between BMI-unadjusted and adjusted anal

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Diet

  • Lower glycemic index carbohydrates and increased dietary fiber High

    Improved carbohydrate quality reduces glucose spikes and supports insulin sensitivity in T2D-predisposed individuals

    Emphasize whole grains, legumes, non-starchy vegetables; limit refined sugars and refined grains

Discuss with your doctor

  • Personalized type 2 diabetes prevention strategy High

    Genetic variant associated with increased T2D risk warrants discussion of personalized prevention approaches

Exercise

  • Regular aerobic and resistance exercise for glycemic control High

    Exercise improves insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, particularly relevant for genetic T2D predisposition

    150 minutes per week moderate aerobic activity plus resistance training 2-3 times per week

Lifestyle

  • Weight management and metabolic health High

    Genetic predisposition to elevated diabetes risk increases importance of maintaining healthy weight for prevention

    Maintain BMI in normal range (18.5-24.9) or as recommended by physician

Screening

  • Type 2 diabetes risk screening with HbA1c and fasting glucose High

    Variant significantly increases T2D risk (OR 1.08) and HbA1c levels, warranting regular glycemic monitoring

    Baseline testing, then annual HbA1c and fasting glucose monitoring
