    ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Findings from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have provided foundational knowledge of the genetic basis of disease, facilitating precision approaches for prevention and treatment. Current GWAS results are limited by underrepresentation of individuals from diverse populations, leading to concerns with generalizability regarding our knowledge of the relationships between genes, traits, and disease. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Million Veteran Program (MVP), one of the largest US-based biobanks, addresses this need; 29% of MVP comprises individuals genetically similar to African (AFR), Admixed American (AMR), and East Asian (EAS) reference populations. With over 635,000 participants and more than 44.3M genotyped variants linked with detailed phenotyp

Lifestyle context

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

Lifestyle

  • strict daily sun protection High

    T allele increases basal cell carcinoma risk; UV exposure is primary modifiable risk factor for skin cancer

    daily SPF 30+ sunscreen to exposed skin, protective clothing (hat, long sleeves), limit sun exposure 10am-4pm

Screening

  • dermatological screening for skin cancer High

    T allele at rs11586259 associated with increased basal cell carcinoma risk; regular screening enables early detection and improved outcomes

    annual full-body skin examination by dermatologist; baseline exam if not recently done
