    ABSTRACT: Clinical laboratory tests are a critical component of the continuum of care. We evaluate the genetic basis of 35 blood and urine laboratory measurements in the UK Biobank (n=363,228 individuals). We identify 1,857 loci associated with at least one trait, containing 3,374 fine-mapped associations, and additional sets of large-effect (> 0.1 sd) protein-altering, HLA, and copy-number variant associations. Through Mendelian Randomization analysis, we discover 51 causal relationships, including previously known agonistic effects of urate on gout and cystatin C on stroke. Finally, we develop polygenic risk scores for each biomarker and built 'multi-PRS' models for diseases using 35 PRSs simultaneously, which improved chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, gout, and alcoholic cirr

  • Large-scale cross-ancestry genome-wide meta-analysis of serum urate - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38658550

    ABSTRACT: Hyperuricemia is an essential causal risk factor for gout and is associated with cardiometabolic diseases. Given the limited contribution of East Asian ancestry to genome-wide association studies of serum urate, the genetic architecture of serum urate requires exploration. A large-scale cross-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis of 1,029,323 individuals and ancestry-specific meta-analysis identifies a total of 351 loci, including 17 previously unreported loci. The genetic architecture of serum urate control is similar between European and East Asian populations. A transcriptome-wide association study, enrichment analysis, and colocalization analysis in relevant tissues identify candidate serum urate-associated genes, including CTBP1, SKIV2L, and WWP2.

Lifestyle context

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

Bloodwork

  • serum urate level High

    Carriers of the A allele at rs12316443 have genetic predisposition to elevated serum urate; monitoring identifies clinical hyperuricemia

    Obtain baseline fasting serum urate; repeat every 1-2 years or if symptoms develop

Diet

  • high-purine foods High

    Dietary purines are metabolized to urate; genetic risk is amplified by purine intake

    Limit red meat, organ meats, shellfish, and high-fructose beverages

Discuss with your doctor

  • genetic predisposition to elevated serum urate High
