    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

  • Lipoprotein (a) level measurement High

    This SNP strongly associates with elevated Lipoprotein (a), a genetically-determined cardiovascular risk factor.

    Measure baseline Lp(a); repeat every 2-3 years or per cardiologist recommendation.

Discuss with your doctor

  • Lipoprotein (a) management strategies High

    Carriers of this SNP have genetically elevated Lp(a); targeted medical interventions may reduce cardiovascular risk.

    Review options including high-intensity statin therapy, PCSK9 inhibitors, or Lp(a)-specific therapies.

Exercise

  • Regular aerobic exercise Moderate

    Physical activity may modestly reduce Lp(a) levels and improve cardiovascular health.

    150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise.
