  • Fine-mapping of an expanded set of type 2 diabetes loci to single-variant resolution using high-density imputation and islet-specific epigenome maps - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30297969

    ABSTRACT: We aggregated genome-wide genotyping data from 32 European-descent GWAS (74,124 T2D cases, 824,006 controls) imputed to high-density reference panels of >30,000 sequenced haplotypes. Analysis of ˜27M variants (˜21M with minor allele frequency [MAF]<5%), identified 243 genome-wide significant loci (p<5x10-8; MAF 0.02%-50%; odds ratio [OR] 1.04-8.05), 135 not previously-implicated in T2D-predisposition. Conditional analyses revealed 160 additional distinct association signals (p<10-5) within the identified loci. The combined set of 403 T2D-risk signals includes 56 low-frequency (0.5%≤MAF<5%) and 24 rare (MAF<0.5%) index SNPs at 60 loci, including 14 with estimated allelic OR>2. Forty-one of the signals displayed effect-size heterogeneity between BMI-unadjusted and adjusted anal

  • Tissue-specific genetic variation suggests distinct molecular pathways between body shape phenotypes and colorectal cancer - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38640244

    ABSTRACT: It remains unknown whether adiposity subtypes are differentially associated with colorectal cancer (CRC). To move beyond single-trait anthropometric indicators, we derived four multi-trait body shape phenotypes reflecting adiposity subtypes from principal components analysis on body mass index, height, weight, waist-to-hip ratio, and waist and hip circumference. A generally obese (PC1) and a tall, centrally obese (PC3) body shape were both positively associated with CRC risk in observational analyses in 329,828 UK Biobank participants (3728 cases). In genome-wide association studies in 460,198 UK Biobank participants, we identified 3414 genetic variants across four body shapes and Mendelian randomization analyses confirmed positive associations of PC1 and PC3 with CRC risk (52,77

Lifestyle context

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

Diet

  • Prioritize whole grains and dietary fiber Moderate

    G allele increases T2D risk; fiber intake improves glucose control and insulin sensitivity

    Consume 25-30g dietary fiber daily from whole grains, legumes, and vegetables

Exercise

  • Regular aerobic exercise for diabetes prevention Moderate

    G allele increases Type 2 diabetes risk; aerobic activity improves insulin sensitivity

    Aim for 150 minutes moderate-intensity activity weekly

Screening

  • Type 2 diabetes screening timing Moderate

    G allele increases T2D risk 1.04-fold (p=1.00e-8, n=898130), warranting earlier or more frequent screening

    Discuss appropriate screening age and frequency with healthcare provider
