    ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Findings from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have provided foundational knowledge of the genetic basis of disease, facilitating precision approaches for prevention and treatment. Current GWAS results are limited by underrepresentation of individuals from diverse populations, leading to concerns with generalizability regarding our knowledge of the relationships between genes, traits, and disease. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Million Veteran Program (MVP), one of the largest US-based biobanks, addresses this need; 29% of MVP comprises individuals genetically similar to African (AFR), Admixed American (AMR), and East Asian (EAS) reference populations. With over 635,000 participants and more than 44.3M genotyped variants linked with detailed phenotyp

Lifestyle context

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

Discuss with your doctor

  • Back pain and nerve inflammation risk discussion High

    CHST3-SPOCK2 region variants show strong association with thoracic/lumbosacral neuritis and back pain in large GWAS cohorts

    Discuss baseline risk and establish preventive monitoring plan

Exercise

  • Core and spinal stabilization exercises High

    Preventive conditioning helps mitigate genetic predisposition to back pain and nerve inflammation

    3-4 sessions weekly, 20-30 minutes of core stability and spinal health movements

Lifestyle

  • Posture, ergonomics, and spinal alignment High

    Modifiable postural and ergonomic factors significantly influence back pain severity in genetically predisposed individuals

    Review workstation setup, sleep positioning, and daily movement patterns quarterly

Screening

  • Back pain and radiculitis symptom monitoring High

    Genetic predisposition warrants heightened awareness of pain and nerve-related symptoms in thoracic and lumbosacral regions

    Track symptom onset, duration, and severity; report new or worsening pain to clinician
