  • A scalable variational inference approach for increased mixed-model association power - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39789286

    ABSTRACT: The rapid growth of modern biobanks is creating new opportunities for large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and the analysis of complex traits. However, performing GWASs on millions of samples often leads to trade-offs between computational efficiency and statistical power, reducing the benefits of large-scale data collection efforts. We developed Quickdraws, a method that increases association power in quantitative and binary traits without sacrificing computational efficiency, leveraging a spike-and-slab prior on variant effects, stochastic variational inference and graphics processing unit acceleration. We applied Quickdraws to 79 quantitative and 50 binary traits in 405,088 UK Biobank samples, identifying 4.97% and 3.25% more associations than REGENIE and 22.71%

Lifestyle context

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

Lifestyle

  • limit alcohol consumption Moderate

    Alcohol elevates GGT; genetic predisposition to higher GGT suggests heightened hepatic sensitivity to alcohol.

    Stay within recommended limits: maximum 1 drink/day (women), 2 drinks/day (men)

Screening

  • liver function panel including GGT Moderate

    The rs116994188 risk allele is associated with elevated gamma-glutamyltransferase, a biomarker of hepatic function.

    Baseline liver function tests; repeat every 1-2 years or as clinically indicated
