    Large-scale genetic studies of traumatic brain injury (TBI) are lacking; thus, our understanding of the influence of genetic factors on TBI risk and recovery is incomplete. This study aimed to conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of TBI in VA Million Veteran Program (MVP) enrollees. Participants included a multi-ancestry cohort (European, African, and Hispanic ancestries; N = 304,485; 111,494 TBI cases, 192,991 controls). TBI was assessed using MVP survey data and International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes from the Veterans Health Administration's electronic health record. GWAS was performed using logistic regression in PLINK, and meta-analyzed in METAL. FUMA was used for post-GWAS analysis. Genomic structural equation modeling (gSEM) was conducted to investigate un

Lifestyle context

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

Discuss with your doctor

  • Traumatic brain injury risk and prevention strategies Moderate

    rs11332270 G allele associated with increased TBI susceptibility in large GWAS study (p=3e-9, n=304,485)

Lifestyle

  • Head protective equipment for high-impact activities Moderate

    Increased TBI susceptibility may warrant additional protective measures during activities with head-injury exposure risk

    Use helmets for cycling, motorcycling, contact sports; evaluate personal high-risk activity participation
