  • Genetic evidence that high BMI in childhood has a protective effect on intermediate diabetes traits, including measures of insulin sensitivity and secretion, after accounting for BMI in adulthood - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37280435

    ABSTRACT: Aims/hypothesis Determining how high BMI at different time points influences the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and affects insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity is critical. Methods By estimating childhood BMI in 441,761 individuals in the UK Biobank, we identified which genetic variants had larger effects on adulthood BMI than on childhood BMI, and vice versa. All genome-wide significant genetic variants were then used to separate the independent genetic effects of high childhood BMI from those of high adulthood BMI on the risk of type 2 diabetes and insulin-related phenotypes using Mendelian randomisation. We performed two-sample MR using external studies of type 2 diabetes, and oral and intravenous measures of insulin secretion and sensitivity. Results We found tha

  • Translational genomics of osteoarthritis in 1,962,069 individuals - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40205036

    ABSTRACT: Osteoarthritis is the third most rapidly growing health condition associated with disability, after dementia and diabetes. By 2050, the total number of patients with osteoarthritis is estimated to reach 1 billion worldwide. As no disease-modifying treatments exist for osteoarthritis, a better understanding of disease aetiopathology is urgently needed. Here we perform a genome-wide association study meta-analyses across up to 489,975 cases and 1,472,094 controls, establishing 962 independent associations, 513 of which have not been previously reported. Using single-cell multiomics data, we identify signal enrichment in embryonic skeletal development pathways. We integrate orthogonal lines of evidence, including transcriptome, proteome and epigenome profiles of primary joint tiss

  • Gene discovery and polygenic prediction from a 1.1-million-person GWAS of educational attainment - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30038396

    ABSTRACT: We conduct a large-scale genetic association analysis of educational attainment in a sample of ~1.1 million individuals and identify 1,271 independent genome-wide-significant SNPs. For the SNPs taken together, we found evidence of heterogeneous effects across environments. The SNPs implicate genes involved in brain-development processes and neuron-to-neuron communication. In a separate analysis of the X chromosome, we identify 10 independent genome-wide-significant SNPs and estimate a SNP heritability of ~0.3% in both men and women, consistent with partial dosage compensation. A joint (multi-phenotype) analysis of educational attainment and three related cognitive phenotypes generates polygenic scores that explain 11-13% of the variance in educational attainment and 7-10% of

  • Genome-wide meta-analyses of restless legs syndrome yield insights into genetic architecture, disease biology and risk prediction - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38839884

    ABSTRACT: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) affects up to 10% of older adults. Their healthcare is impeded by delayed diagnosis and insufficient treatment. To advance disease prediction and find new entry points for therapy, we performed meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies in 116,647 individuals with RLS (cases) and 1,546,466 controls of European ancestry. The pooled analysis increased the number of risk loci eightfold to 164, including three on chromosome X. Sex-specific meta-analyses revealed largely overlapping genetic predispositions of the sexes (rg = 0.96). Locus annotation prioritized druggable genes such as glutamate receptors 1 and 4, and Mendelian randomization indicated RLS as a causal risk factor for diabetes. Machine learning approaches combining genetic and nongen

Lifestyle context

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

Discuss with your doctor

  • osteoarthritis risk assessment and personalized prevention Moderate

    Genetic risk can be integrated with personal and family history for comprehensive prevention planning.

Exercise

  • regular low-impact joint-protective exercise Moderate

    Genetic variant associated with osteoarthritis risk; low-impact activity reduces cartilage stress while supporting joint health.

    150 minutes weekly of swimming, cycling, elliptical, or walking

Lifestyle

  • maintain healthy body weight Moderate

    Excess weight increases biomechanical joint stress; weight management mitigates osteoarthritis progression risk.

    Target BMI 18.5-24.9; develop personalized plan with healthcare provider

Screening

  • osteoarthritis baseline imaging and periodic reassessment Moderate

    Increased genetic predisposition enables early detection of structural changes before symptoms develop.

    Baseline X-ray or MRI at age 40-45; follow-up every 3-5 years if asymptomatic
