Genetics of 35 blood and urine biomarkers in the UK Biobank - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33462484
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

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.
Bloodwork
-
Lipoprotein(a) level High
Variant strongly associated with elevated Lipoprotein(a), an independent cardiovascular risk factor
Baseline test and periodic monitoring per physician recommendation
Screening
-
Cardiovascular risk stratification Moderate
Elevated Lipoprotein(a) is an independent cardiovascular risk factor requiring comprehensive risk assessment
