  • 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.

Diet

  • Prioritize low-glycemic index foods Moderate

    CDKN2C rs113588455 risk allele associates with elevated HbA1c; low-glycemic diets reduce postprandial glucose excursions

    Emphasize whole grains, legumes, vegetables; limit refined carbs and added sugars

Discuss with your doctor

  • Diabetes risk assessment and prevention strategy Moderate

    Genetic predisposition to elevated HbA1c warrants proactive discussion about screening frequency and lifestyle interventions

Exercise

  • Regular aerobic and resistance exercise Moderate

    CDKN2C rs113588455 is associated with elevated HbA1c; physical activity improves insulin sensitivity and glucose control

    Aim for 150 min/week moderate-intensity aerobic plus 2 days/week resistance training

Screening

  • HbA1c and fasting glucose levels Moderate

    CDKN2C rs113588455 risk allele A is significantly associated with elevated HbA1c levels (p=6.00e-21, n=394,642)

    Check HbA1c annually; monitor fasting glucose at routine health visits
