    ABSTRACT: Asthma is a heterogeneous, complex syndrome, and identifying asthma endotypes has been challenging. We hypothesize that distinct endotypes of asthma arise in disparate genetic variation and life-time environmental exposure backgrounds, and that disease comorbidity patterns serve as a surrogate for such genetic and exposure variations. Here, we computationally discover 22 distinct comorbid disease patterns among individuals with asthma (asthma comorbidity subgroups) using diagnosis records for >151 M US residents, and re-identify 11 of the 22 subgroups in the much smaller UK Biobank. GWASs to discern asthma risk loci for individuals within each subgroup and in all subgroups combined reveal 109 independent risk loci, of which 52 are replicated in multi-ancestry meta-analysis acro

Lifestyle context

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

Discuss with your doctor

  • asthma risk and preventive management Moderate

    Genetic predisposition to asthma warrants clinical discussion and prevention planning

    Review personal and family history; discuss preventive approaches with doctor

Lifestyle

  • indoor allergens and air pollution Moderate

    Environmental triggers modulate asthma risk; genetic variant may amplify susceptibility

    Use HEPA filters, monitor air quality, minimize dust and allergen exposure

Screening

  • asthma symptoms and baseline spirometry Moderate

    Associated with increased asthma risk in genome-wide significant study (p=4e-8)

    Baseline spirometry if not done; monitor symptoms
