  • Genetics of Blood Lipids Among ~300,000 Multi-Ethnic Participants of the Million Veteran Program - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30275531

    ABSTRACT: The Million Veteran Program (MVP) was established in 2011 as a national research initiative to determine how genetic variation influences the health of U.S. military veterans. We genotyped 312,571 MVP participants using a custom biobank array and linked the genetic data to laboratory and clinical phenotypes extracted from electronic health records covering a median of 10.0 years of follow-up. Among 297,626 veterans with at least 1 blood lipid measurement including 57,332 blacks and 24,743 Hispanics, we tested up to ~32 million variants for association with lipid levels and identified 118 novel genome-wide significant loci after meta-analysis with data from the Global Lipids Genetics Consortium (total N > 600,000). Through a focus on mutations predicted to result in a loss of gene

Lifestyle context

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

Diet

  • reduce added sugars and refined carbohydrates Moderate

    Refined carbohydrates and sugars elevate triglycerides; relevant for rs12257692-T carriers with genetic predisposition

    limit added sugars to less than 10% of daily calories, prioritize whole grains

Exercise

  • aerobic exercise for triglyceride management Moderate

    Regular aerobic exercise reduces triglycerides; relevant for carriers of rs12257692-T with genetic predisposition

    150 minutes moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week

Screening

  • triglyceride levels Moderate

    rs12257692-T allele associated with elevated triglycerides in large GWAS (n=297,626)

    annual lipid panel including fasting triglycerides
