  • 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%

Lifestyle context

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

Diet

  • high-purine foods and beverages Moderate

    Dietary purines are metabolized to uric acid; limiting them can reduce serum urate levels.

    limit red meat, organ meats, shellfish, high-fructose drinks, and alcohol

Lifestyle

  • adequate hydration Moderate

    Increased fluid intake boosts urine output and reduces serum urate concentration.

    drink at least 2-3 liters of water daily, more if exercising or in hot climates

Screening

  • serum urate level Moderate

    ZKSCAN5 rs10230784 A allele increases serum urate, a risk factor for gout and cardiovascular disease.

    baseline serum urate check; repeat annually if elevated or at higher risk for gout
