    ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Findings from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have provided foundational knowledge of the genetic basis of disease, facilitating precision approaches for prevention and treatment. Current GWAS results are limited by underrepresentation of individuals from diverse populations, leading to concerns with generalizability regarding our knowledge of the relationships between genes, traits, and disease. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Million Veteran Program (MVP), one of the largest US-based biobanks, addresses this need; 29% of MVP comprises individuals genetically similar to African (AFR), Admixed American (AMR), and East Asian (EAS) reference populations. With over 635,000 participants and more than 44.3M genotyped variants linked with detailed phenotyp

Lifestyle context

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

Diet

  • Prioritize low-glycemic-index carbohydrates Moderate

    Low-glycemic foods minimize glucose spikes, reducing the metabolic strain that this SNP-associated higher glucose may cause

    Choose whole grains, legumes, non-starchy vegetables over refined carbohydrates; consider glucose response timing

Discuss with your doctor

  • Metabolic health and glucose management Moderate

    Genetic predisposition to elevated fasting glucose warrants personalized assessment of diabetes risk and preventive strategies

Exercise

  • Regular aerobic exercise Moderate

    Aerobic exercise improves insulin sensitivity and reduces fasting glucose levels, directly addressing the metabolic impact of this SNP

    150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, or equivalent high-intensity interval training

Screening

  • Fasting glucose testing Moderate

    This SNP is strongly associated with elevated fasting glucose levels, indicating potential metabolic risk and diabetes susceptibility

    Annual or biennial fasting glucose screening, baseline if not recently tested
