    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.

Lifestyle

  • High-impact activities and trauma exposure High

    Increased fracture risk indicates bone fragility or structural vulnerability in shoulder girdle

    Use protective equipment for contact sports; implement fall prevention measures at home and work

Screening

  • Baseline bone density screening High

    Variant strongly associated with increased clavicle and scapula fracture risk, suggesting possible bone quality or structural vulnerabilities

    Discuss with healthcare provider about DEXA scan timing and periodic monitoring based on fracture risk profile

Supplements

  • Calcium and vitamin D supplementation Moderate

    Adequate calcium and vitamin D are essential for bone density and fracture prevention

    1000-1200 mg calcium and 800-2000 IU vitamin D daily, adjust based on vitamin D testing
