    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

Lifestyle context

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

Bloodwork

  • gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) level Moderate

    rs115904883 in ASH1L is strongly associated with elevated gamma glutamyl transferase, reflecting altered hepatic enzyme metabolism

    Annual liver function panel including GGT; increase frequency if elevation detected

  • serum urate level Moderate

    rs115904883 in ASH1L is strongly associated with increased serum urate, a key risk factor for gout and kidney stone formation

    Annual serum urate testing; more frequent if symptoms develop or levels elevated

Discuss with your doctor

  • urate-lowering intervention strategy Moderate

    Elevated serum urate from this variant increases gout risk; early discussion enables preventive management

    Discuss baseline urate target and gout prevention at routine appointments
