The Trans-Ancestral Genomic Architecture of Glycemic Traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34059833
ABSTRACT: Glycemic traits are used to diagnose and monitor type 2 diabetes, and cardiometabolic health. To date, most genetic studies of glycemic traits have focused on individuals of European ancestry. Here, we aggregated genome-wide association studies in up to 281,416 individuals without diabetes (30% non-European ancestry) with fasting glucose, 2h-glucose post-challenge, glycated hemoglobin, and fasting insulin data. Trans-ancestry and single-ancestry meta-analyses identified 242 loci (99 novel; P<5x10-8), 80% with no significant evidence of between-ancestry heterogeneity. Analyses restricted to European ancestry individuals with equivalent sample size would have led to 24 fewer new loci. Compared to single-ancestry, equivalent sized trans-ancestry fine-mapping reduced the number of es

Lifestyle context
Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.
Bloodwork
-
Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) testing Moderate
rs12452572 FN3K variant associated with elevated glycated hemoglobin levels in GWAS of 9525 participants
Annual HbA1c testing; more frequent if elevated
Diet
-
Limit refined carbohydrates and sugars Moderate
Reducing refined carbohydrate intake stabilizes glucose levels; relevant for variants affecting HbA1c
Reduce added sugars; prioritize whole grains, legumes, vegetables
Exercise
-
Regular aerobic physical activity Moderate
Exercise improves glucose control and insulin sensitivity; important for variants increasing HbA1c
150 minutes moderate-intensity aerobic activity weekly
