    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.

Diet

  • Mediterranean or DASH diet pattern Moderate

    Mediterranean and DASH dietary patterns support cardiovascular health and may help manage cardiovascular risk factors

    Emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, fish, and healthy fats; limit processed foods and saturated fat

Discuss with your doctor

  • Lipoprotein (a) results and cardiovascular prevention strategy Moderate

    Genetic predisposition to elevated Lp(a) warrants personalized cardiovascular risk management discussion

    Review Lp(a) results with healthcare provider and develop individualized cardiovascular prevention plan

Exercise

  • Regular aerobic exercise Moderate

    Aerobic exercise supports cardiovascular health and may help mitigate cardiovascular risk in those with elevated Lp(a)

    150 minutes moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week or equivalent higher intensity

Screening

  • Lipoprotein (a) level and cardiovascular risk Moderate

    rs11752957 T allele is strongly associated with elevated lipoprotein (a), an independent cardiovascular risk factor

    Baseline Lp(a) measurement, periodic reassessment per clinical guidance
