    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

  • Serum urate level testing Moderate

    rs11737509 A allele increases serum urate; baseline testing enables hyperuricemia detection and gout risk assessment.

    Annual or biennial serum urate level test

Discuss with your doctor

  • Urate management strategy and gout risk Moderate

    Genetic predisposition to elevated urate increases hyperuricemia and gout risk; clinical assessment helps determine personalized management.

    Discuss with physician: assess urate-related cardiovascular risk, gout prevention strategies, and monitoring approach
