  • A scalable variational inference approach for increased mixed-model association power - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39789286

    ABSTRACT: The rapid growth of modern biobanks is creating new opportunities for large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and the analysis of complex traits. However, performing GWASs on millions of samples often leads to trade-offs between computational efficiency and statistical power, reducing the benefits of large-scale data collection efforts. We developed Quickdraws, a method that increases association power in quantitative and binary traits without sacrificing computational efficiency, leveraging a spike-and-slab prior on variant effects, stochastic variational inference and graphics processing unit acceleration. We applied Quickdraws to 79 quantitative and 50 binary traits in 405,088 UK Biobank samples, identifying 4.97% and 3.25% more associations than REGENIE and 22.71%

Lifestyle context

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

Bloodwork

  • C-reactive protein (CRP) level Moderate

    Genetic variant associated with elevated CRP, a systemic inflammation marker linked to cardiovascular disease risk.

    Annual high-sensitivity CRP blood test to track inflammation levels

Diet

  • Anti-inflammatory diet (Mediterranean pattern) Moderate

    Mediterranean dietary pattern reduces systemic CRP levels and addresses inflammatory pathway associated with this variant.

    Emphasize olive oil, fish, fruits, vegetables, whole grains; limit processed foods and refined sugars

Exercise

  • Regular aerobic exercise Moderate

    Aerobic exercise reduces CRP levels and cardiovascular risk in individuals genetically predisposed to higher inflammation.

    Aim for 150 minutes moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week or 75 minutes vigorous-intensity activity

Screening

  • Cardiovascular risk assessment Moderate

    Elevated CRP is a marker of increased cardiovascular disease risk; genetic predisposition to higher CRP warrants proactive assessment.

    Discuss baseline cardiovascular risk factors, family history, and appropriate screening timeline with healthcare provider
