Current genome-wide association studies do not yet capture sufficient diversity in populations and scope of phenotypes. To expand an atlas of genetic associations in non-European populations, we conducted 220 deep-phenotype genome-wide association studies (diseases, biomarkers and medication usage) in BioBank Japan (n = 179,000), by incorporating past medical history and text-mining of electronic medical records. Meta-analyses with the UK Biobank and FinnGen (n = 628,000) identified ~5,000 new loci, which improved the resolution of the genomic map of human traits. This atlas elucidated the landscape of pleiotropy as represented by the major histocompatibility complex locus, where we conducted HLA fine-mapping. Finally, we performed statistical decomposition of matrices of phenome-wid

Lifestyle context
Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.
Diet
-
Reduce refined carbohydrates and added sugars Moderate
Lower glycemic load reduces postprandial glucose excursions and improves hemoglobin A1c control
Limit refined carbohydrates to less than 25% of daily calories
Discuss with your doctor
-
Personalized diabetes prevention strategy Moderate
Genetic risk alleles for elevated HbA1c warrant discussion of prevention and early intervention
Annual review of HbA1c results and glucose management plan
Exercise
-
Regular aerobic and resistance exercise Moderate
Exercise enhances glucose uptake and improves insulin sensitivity, lowering HbA1c
150 minutes moderate aerobic activity weekly plus 2 days resistance training
Screening
-
Hemoglobin A1c level Moderate
SPTLC1P2 region variants associated with higher hemoglobin A1c levels and altered glucose homeostasis
Annual screening minimum; increase frequency if baseline HbA1c is elevated
