Global Biobank Meta-analysis Initiative: Powering genetic discovery across human disease - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36777996
ABSTRACT: Summary Biobanks facilitate genome-wide association studies (GWASs), which have mapped genomic loci across a range of human diseases and traits. However, most biobanks are primarily composed of individuals of European ancestry. We introduce the Global Biobank Meta-analysis Initiative (GBMI)-a collaborative network of 23 biobanks from 4 continents representing more than 2.2 million consented individuals with genetic data linked to electronic health records. GBMI meta-analyzes summary statistics from GWASs generated using harmonized genotypes and phenotypes from member biobanks for 14 exemplar diseases and endpoints. This strategy validates that GWASs conducted in diverse biobanks can be integrated despite heterogeneity in case definitions, recruitment strategies, and baseline ch

Lifestyle context
Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.
Lifestyle
-
Cigarette smoking and secondhand smoke Moderate
Smoking exposure is a primary COPD risk factor; genetic predisposition at this locus substantially increases disease susceptibility
Strict avoidance of active smoking and secondhand smoke exposure
Screening
-
Early COPD screening with spirometry Moderate
Genetic variant associated with significantly increased COPD risk; early detection improves disease management and outcomes
Discuss baseline spirometry and periodic respiratory function testing with primary care provider
