  • 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%

  • GWAS and multi-omics integrative analysis reveal novel loci and their molecular mechanisms for circulating fatty acids - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40545721

    ABSTRACT: Summary Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic loci associated with the circulating levels of fatty acids (FAs), but the biological mechanisms of these genetic associations remain largely unexplored. Here, we conducted GWAS to identify additional genetic loci for 19 circulating FA traits in UK Biobank participants of European ancestry (n = 239,268) and five other ancestries (n = 508-4,663). We leveraged the GWAS findings to characterize genetic correlations and colocalized regions among FAs, explore sex differences, examine FA loci influenced by lipoprotein metabolism, and apply statistical fine-mapping to pinpoint putative causal variants. We integrated GWAS signals with multi-omics quantitative trait loci (QTL) to reveal intermediate molecular

Lifestyle context

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

Bloodwork

  • fasting triglyceride levels Moderate

    This LPL variant strongly associates with elevated serum triglycerides and altered lipid metabolism

    Check annually; if >150 mg/dL, discuss management with your doctor

Diet

  • reduce refined carbohydrates and added sugars Moderate

    Refined carbohydrates elevate triglycerides; this variant's effect may be carbohydrate-sensitive

    Limit added sugars to <5% of daily calories; prioritize whole grains

Discuss with your doctor

  • triglyceride elevation and cardiovascular risk assessment Moderate

    Elevated triglycerides from this variant increase cardiovascular disease risk and may warrant preventive intervention

Lifestyle

  • regular aerobic exercise Moderate

    Aerobic activity reduces triglycerides and may help mitigate this variant's metabolic effect

    150 minutes moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week
