Genetics of 35 blood and urine biomarkers in the UK Biobank - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33462484
ABSTRACT: Clinical laboratory tests are a critical component of the continuum of care. We evaluate the genetic basis of 35 blood and urine laboratory measurements in the UK Biobank (n=363,228 individuals). We identify 1,857 loci associated with at least one trait, containing 3,374 fine-mapped associations, and additional sets of large-effect (> 0.1 sd) protein-altering, HLA, and copy-number variant associations. Through Mendelian Randomization analysis, we discover 51 causal relationships, including previously known agonistic effects of urate on gout and cystatin C on stroke. Finally, we develop polygenic risk scores for each biomarker and built 'multi-PRS' models for diseases using 35 PRSs simultaneously, which improved chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, gout, and alcoholic cirr

Bloodwork
-
gamma-glutamyl transferase level Moderate
BABAM2 rs114295720-T allele is associated with elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase, a marker of liver stress and metabolic dysfunction
include GGT in annual hepatic panel or complete blood chemistry
Discuss with your doctor
-
elevated GGT and metabolic health assessment Moderate
elevated GGT associated with increased risk for liver disease, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome; this SNP predisposes to elevated GGT
discuss GGT results and consider screening for liver disease and metabolic dysfunction
