  • Genetic Variants in the Bone Morphogenic Protein Gene Family Modify the Association between Residential Exposure to Traffic and Peripheral Arterial Disease - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 27082954

    ABSTRACT: There is a growing literature indicating that genetic variants modify many of the associations between environmental exposures and clinical outcomes, potentially by increasing susceptibility to these exposures. However, genome-scale investigations of these interactions have been rarely performed particularly in the case of air pollution exposures. We performed race-stratified genome-wide gene-environment interaction association studies on European-American (EA, N = 1623) and African-American (AA, N = 554) cohorts to investigate the joint influence of common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and residential exposure to traffic ("traffic exposure")-a recognized vascular disease risk factor-on peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Traffic exposure was estimated via the dis

Lifestyle context

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

Discuss with your doctor

  • PAD risk and traffic air pollution interaction Moderate

    Gene-environment interaction increases PAD risk with traffic-related air pollution exposure

Lifestyle

  • high-traffic air pollution exposure Moderate

    Variant increases peripheral arterial disease risk in context of traffic-related air pollution exposure

    Limit time in high-traffic areas; consider air purification; avoid rush hour commutes

Screening

  • peripheral arterial disease screening Moderate

    Variant is associated with increased peripheral arterial disease risk

    Ankle-brachial index testing; discuss screening timeline with physician
