  • Genetic drivers of heterogeneity in type 2 diabetes pathophysiology - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38374256

    ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a heterogeneous disease that develops through diverse pathophysiological processes and molecular mechanisms that are often specific to cell type. Here, to characterize the genetic contribution to these processes across ancestry groups, we aggregate genome-wide association study data from 2,535,601 individuals (39.7% not of European ancestry), including 428,452 cases of T2D. We identify 1,289 independent association signals at genome-wide significance (P < 5 × 10−8) that map to 611 loci, of which 145 loci are, to our knowledge, previously unreported. We define eight non-overlapping clusters of T2D signals that are characterized by distinct profiles of cardiometabolic trait associations. These clusters are differentially enriched for cell-type-sp

  • The Trans-Ancestral Genomic Architecture of Glycemic Traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34059833

    ABSTRACT: Glycemic traits are used to diagnose and monitor type 2 diabetes, and cardiometabolic health. To date, most genetic studies of glycemic traits have focused on individuals of European ancestry. Here, we aggregated genome-wide association studies in up to 281,416 individuals without diabetes (30% non-European ancestry) with fasting glucose, 2h-glucose post-challenge, glycated hemoglobin, and fasting insulin data. Trans-ancestry and single-ancestry meta-analyses identified 242 loci (99 novel; P<5x10-8), 80% with no significant evidence of between-ancestry heterogeneity. Analyses restricted to European ancestry individuals with equivalent sample size would have led to 24 fewer new loci. Compared to single-ancestry, equivalent sized trans-ancestry fine-mapping reduced the number of es

Lifestyle context

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

Diet

  • Refined carbohydrates and added sugars Moderate

    Refined carbohydrates elevate fasting glucose, compounding genetic predisposition at this locus

    Emphasize whole grains, legumes, non-starchy vegetables; limit sugary beverages and processed foods

Lifestyle

  • Regular physical activity for metabolic health Moderate

    Physical activity significantly mitigates genetic risk for type 2 diabetes

    Aim for 150 minutes per week moderate-intensity aerobic exercise plus 2 days resistance training

Screening

  • Annual fasting glucose or HbA1c screening High

    rs1046521 is strongly associated with type 2 diabetes and elevated fasting glucose

    Obtain fasting glucose or HbA1c at least annually; discuss screening interval with healthcare provider
