    ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Findings from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have provided foundational knowledge of the genetic basis of disease, facilitating precision approaches for prevention and treatment. Current GWAS results are limited by underrepresentation of individuals from diverse populations, leading to concerns with generalizability regarding our knowledge of the relationships between genes, traits, and disease. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Million Veteran Program (MVP), one of the largest US-based biobanks, addresses this need; 29% of MVP comprises individuals genetically similar to African (AFR), Admixed American (AMR), and East Asian (EAS) reference populations. With over 635,000 participants and more than 44.3M genotyped variants linked with detailed phenotyp

Lifestyle context

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

Diet

  • Refined carbohydrate intake Moderate

    NOTCH2 downregulated in pancreatic tissue; affects insulin secretion and glucose metabolism

    Monitor blood glucose response to meals; limit refined carbs

Discuss with your doctor

  • Personalized diabetes risk assessment and screening Moderate

    Very strong genetic association with elevated HbA1c (p=9e-18); warrants professional risk evaluation

Exercise

  • Aerobic exercise for glucose control Moderate

    Exercise improves insulin sensitivity to compensate for NOTCH2-mediated glucose dysregulation

    150 minutes moderate-intensity aerobic exercise weekly

Screening

  • HbA1c and fasting glucose screening Moderate

    Variant associated with elevated HbA1c (p=9e-18 in 492k-person GWAS)

    Baseline HbA1c; repeat annually
