  • Multi-ancestry genome-wide association analyses improve resolution of genes and pathways influencing lung function and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease risk - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36914875

    ABSTRACT: Lung-function impairment underlies chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and predicts mortality. In the largest multi-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis of lung function to date, comprising 588,452 participants, we identified 1,020 independent association signals implicating 559 genes supported by ≥2 criteria from a systematic variant-to-gene mapping framework. These genes were enriched in 29 pathways. Individual variants showed heterogeneity across ancestries, age and smoking groups, and collectively as a genetic risk score showed strong association with COPD across ancestry groups. We undertook phenome-wide association studies for selected associated variants as well as trait and pathway-specific genetic risk scores to infer possible consequences of interve

Lifestyle context

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

Lifestyle

  • smoking and high-pollution environments Moderate

    Smoking and air pollution accelerate FEV1 decline; genetic predisposition to lower baseline FEV1 amplifies environmental respiratory stress.

    Avoid active smoking and secondhand smoke exposure; limit prolonged exposure to poor air quality

Screening

  • baseline spirometry and periodic FEV1 monitoring Moderate

    LINC01798 variants are associated with lower FEV1; establishing baseline and monitoring for decline is clinically relevant.

    Spirometry at next health visit, then monitor per clinical guidelines
