  • Discovery of 318 new risk loci for type 2 diabetes and related vascular outcomes among 1.4 million participants in a multi-ethnic meta-analysis - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32541925

    ABSTRACT: We investigated type 2 diabetes (T2D) genetic susceptibility via multi-ethnic meta-analysis of 228,499 cases and 1,178,783 controls in the Million Veteran Program, DIAMANTE, Biobank Japan, and other studies. We report 568 associations, including 286 autosomal, 7 X chromosomal, and 25 identified in ancestry-specific analyses that were previously unreported. Transcriptome-wide association analysis detected 3,568 T2D-associations with genetically predicted gene expression in 687 novel genes; of these, 54 are known to interact with FDA-approved drugs. A polygenic risk score was strongly associated with increased risk of T2D-related retinopathy and modestly associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), peripheral artery disease (PAD), and neuropathy. We investigated the genetic etiolo

Lifestyle context

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

Diet

  • refined carbohydrates and added sugars Moderate

    TSPAN8 rs10879261 risk alleles increase type 2 diabetes susceptibility; restricting refined carbohydrates is a primary diabetes prevention strategy

    limit added sugars to 25 grams daily, prioritize whole grains

Exercise

  • aerobic physical activity for diabetes prevention Moderate

    Carriers of TSPAN8 rs10879261 risk alleles have elevated type 2 diabetes risk; regular aerobic exercise reduces this risk

    150 minutes moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week

Screening

  • fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1c Moderate

    rs10879261 risk alleles confer elevated type 2 diabetes risk

    annual testing starting at age 25
