    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
