We evaluated temporal and genetic relationships between 176 food-liking-traits and cardio-metabolic diseases using data from the UK Biobank (N = 182,087) for observational analyses and summary-level GWAS data from FinnGen and other consortia (N = 406,565-977,323) for genetic analyses. Integrating observational and genetic results, we identified two detrimental food-liking-traits (bacon and diet-fizzy-drinks) and three protective food-liking-traits (broccoli, pizza, and lentils/beans). These food-liking-traits are associated with habitual food intake and influence cardio-metabolic proteins and biological processes. Notably, we found three genetic links: diet-fizzy-drinks with heart-failure, bacon with type-2-diabetes, and lentils/beans with type-2-diabetes, identifying 54 pleiotropic single-nucleotide-variants, impacting both phenotypes. Our data show the diet-fizzy-drinks and heart-failure link maybe not direct, as diet-fizzy-drinks liking correlates with sweet food consumption and shares variants linked to BMI, adiposity, platelet count and cardio-metabolic traits. The pleiotropic single-nucleotide-variants map to 251 tissue-specific genes, with four showing high druggability potential, highlighting personalized dietary strategies for cardio-metabolic diseases.
我们使用英国生物银行（N = 182,087）的数据进行观察性分析，以及来自芬兰基因库和其他联盟的汇总水平全基因组关联研究（GWAS）数据（N = 406,565 - 977,323）进行基因分析，评估了176种食物喜好特征与心血管代谢疾病之间的时间和遗传关系。综合观察性和基因分析结果，我们确定了两种有害的食物喜好特征（培根和无糖汽水）以及三种有益的食物喜好特征（西兰花、披萨和小扁豆/豆类）。这些食物喜好特征与习惯性食物摄入相关，并影响心血管代谢蛋白和生物学过程。值得注意的是，我们发现了三个基因关联：无糖汽水与心力衰竭、培根与2型糖尿病、小扁豆/豆类与2型糖尿病，共识别出54个多效性单核苷酸变异，影响两种表型。我们的数据表明，无糖汽水与心力衰竭之间的联系可能不是直接的，因为对无糖汽水的喜好与甜食消费相关，并且共享与体重指数、肥胖、血小板计数和心血管代谢特征相关的变异。这些多效性单核苷酸变异映射到251个组织特异性基因，其中四个显示出较高的药物开发潜力，突出了针对心血管代谢疾病的个性化饮食策略。
