Current genome-wide association studies do not yet capture sufficient diversity in populations and scope of phenotypes. To expand an atlas of genetic associations in non-European populations, we conducted 220 deep-phenotype genome-wide association studies (diseases, biomarkers and medication usage) in BioBank Japan (n = 179,000), by incorporating past medical history and text-mining of electronic medical records. Meta-analyses with the UK Biobank and FinnGen (n = 628,000) identified ~5,000 new loci, which improved the resolution of the genomic map of human traits. This atlas elucidated the landscape of pleiotropy as represented by the major histocompatibility complex locus, where we conducted HLA fine-mapping. Finally, we performed statistical decomposition of matrices of phenome-wid

Lifestyle context
Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.
Diet
-
Low glycemic index carbohydrates Moderate
Dietary management of blood glucose response is a primary intervention for elevated HbA1c risk
Prioritize whole grains, legumes; limit refined carbs and sugary foods
Discuss with your doctor
-
Baseline cardiometabolic risk assessment Moderate
Elevated HbA1c is a significant cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk factor
Discuss screening timeline and prevention strategies
Exercise
-
Regular physical activity for glucose control Moderate
Exercise improves insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis, directly addressing HbA1c elevation risk
150 minutes moderate intensity per week
Screening
-
Hemoglobin A1c screening Moderate
This SNP variant is associated with significantly elevated HbA1c levels, a key metabolic risk marker
Screen every 6-12 months
