  • Whole-exome imputation within UK Biobank powers rare coding variant association and fine-mapping analyses - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34226706

    ABSTRACT: Exome association studies to date have generally been underpowered to systematically evaluate the phenotypic impact of very rare coding variants. We leveraged extensive haplotype sharing between 49,960 exome-sequenced UK Biobank participants and the remainder of the cohort (total N~500K) to impute exome-wide variants with accuracy R2>0.5 down to minor allele frequency (MAF) ~0.00005. Association and fine-mapping analyses of 54 quantitative traits identified 1,189 significant associations (P<5 x 10−8) involving 675 distinct rare protein-altering variants (MAF<0.01) that passed stringent filters for likely causality. Across all traits, 49% of associations (578/1,189) occurred in genes with two or more hits; follow-up analyses of these genes identified allelic series containing up

Lifestyle context

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

Diet

  • anti-inflammatory foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids Moderate

    LIPA SNP associates with elevated CRP; anti-inflammatory dietary patterns reduce CRP and cardiovascular risk

    include fatty fish 2-3x weekly, abundant vegetables, minimize refined carbohydrates and processed foods

Exercise

  • regular aerobic exercise Moderate

    LIPA rs116928232 risk allele associates with elevated C-reactive protein; aerobic exercise reduces CRP and cardiovascular risk

    150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity

Screening

  • C-reactive protein levels Moderate

    LIPA rs116928232 associates with elevated CRP; periodic monitoring helps assess cardiovascular risk

    baseline CRP test, repeat annually or as clinically indicated
