  • Identification of fifty-seven novel loci for abdominal wall hernia development and their biological and clinical implications: results from the UK Biobank. - Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery (2022) · Wei J, Attaar M, Shi Z, Na R, Resurreccion WK, Haggerty SP, Zheng SL, Helfand BT, Ujiki MB, Xu J · PubMed 34382107

    Familial aggregation is known for both hernia development and recurrence. To date, only one genome-wide association study (GWAS) limited to inguinal hernia has been reported that identified four risk-associated loci. We aim to investigate polygenic architecture of abdominal wall hernia development and recurrence. A GWAS was performed in 367,394 subjects from the UK Biobank to investigate the polygenic architecture of abdominal wall hernia subtypes (inguinal, femoral, umbilical, ventral) and identify specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with their risk. Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis was performed to identify genes whose expression levels are associated with these SNPs. A genetic risk score (GRS) was used to assess the cumulative effect of

  • A genome-wide association study of mass spectrometry proteomics using a nanoparticle enrichment platform - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41310232

    ABSTRACT: Most studies to date of protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) have relied on affinity proteomics platforms, which provide only limited information about the targeted protein isoforms and may be affected by genetic variation in their epitope binding. Here we show that mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics can complement these studies and provide insights into the role of specific protein isoform and epitope-altering variants. Using the Seer Proteograph nanoparticle enrichment MS platform, we identified and replicated new pQTLs in a genome-wide association study of proteins in blood plasma samples from two cohorts and evaluated previously reported pQTLs from affinity proteomics platforms. We found that >30% of the evaluated pQTLs were confirmed by MS proteomics to be consistent

  • GWAS of allometric body-shape indices in UK Biobank identifies loci suggesting associations with morphogenesis, organogenesis, adrenal cell renewal and cancer - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34021172

    ABSTRACT: Genetic studies have examined body-shape measures adjusted for body mass index (BMI), while allometric indices are additionally adjusted for height. We performed the first genome-wide association study of A Body Shape Index (ABSI), Hip Index (HI) and the new Waist-to-Hip Index and compared these with traditional indices, using data from the UK Biobank Resource for 219,872 women and 186,825 men with white British ancestry and Bayesian linear mixed-models (BOLT-LMM). One to two thirds of the loci identified for allometric body-shape indices were novel. Most prominent was rs72959041 variant in RSPO3 gene, expressed in visceral adipose tissue and regulating adrenal cell renewal. Highly ranked were genes related to morphogenesis and organogenesis, previously additionally linked to can

Lifestyle context

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

Exercise

  • core strengthening exercises Moderate

    Strong abdominal muscles provide protective support against hernia protrusion in genetically susceptible individuals

    perform planks, dead bugs, or similar core exercises 3-4 times weekly

Lifestyle

  • abdominal weight and BMI Moderate

    Excess abdominal adiposity increases intra-abdominal pressure and hernia risk in C allele carriers

    maintain BMI <25 kg/m2; prioritize abdominal weight loss if overweight

  • chronic constipation and persistent cough Moderate

    Chronic straining from constipation or cough increases hernia risk; C allele carriers have baseline vulnerability

    treat constipation with fiber and fluids; address chronic cough with medical evaluation

  • heavy lifting and straining Moderate

    C allele increases inguinal hernia risk; heavy lifting and straining increase intra-abdominal pressure and hernia occurrence

    avoid lifting >50 lbs; use proper form and lumbar support when lifting

Screening

  • inguinal hernia symptoms Moderate

    C allele carriers have increased inguinal hernia prevalence; early detection enables preventive intervention

    report any groin bulge, ache, or heaviness to physician; seek evaluation if symptomatic
