Coupling genetic profiling with electronic health records from hospital biobanks is a foundational resource for precision medicine. However, lack of ancestral heterogeneity limits discovery and generalizability. We leveraged the UCLA ATLAS Community Health Initiative, a diverse biobank with >35% non-European participants in a single health system, to inform disease prevalence and genetic risk across five continental and 36 fine-scale ancestry groups. Analyzing clinical and genetic data for 93,937 individuals, 61,797 with whole-exome sequencing (WES), we identified novel associations between genetic variants and phenotypes, including with asthma risk in Mexican Americans and with intestinal disaccharidase deficiency across Europeans and Admixed Americans. Top decile polygenic scores (PGS) predicted patient status for many common diseases (40% of patients with Type 1 diabetes); an effect markedly diminished in non-Europeans. Exploring the distribution of ACMG ClinGen rare variants across populations demonstrated European bias in curated clinical variants. Mitigating this bias using computationally predicted deleterious variants, we identified new gene-disease associations, including and blood glucose level in East Asians. We identified as a modulator of semaglutide's effects on weight loss, and additionally found variability across ancestries and a relationship with type-2-diabetes PGS. We provide an interactive web portal for accessing cross-ancestry associations at atlas-phewas.mednet.ucla.edu. Collectively, our findings support the value of ancestral diversity in advancing precision health across a broad spectrum of populations.
将基因谱分析与医院生物样本库的电子健康记录相结合,是精准医学的一项基础资源。然而,缺乏祖先异质性限制了发现和可推广性。我们利用加州大学洛杉矶分校ATLAS社区健康倡议项目,这是一个单一医疗系统中的多样化生物样本库,非欧洲参与者超过35%,以了解五个大陆和36个精细尺度祖先群体的疾病患病率和遗传风险。分析93937名个体的临床和基因数据,其中61797名进行了全外显子测序(WES),我们确定了基因变异与表型之间的新关联,包括墨西哥裔美国人中与哮喘风险的关联,以及欧洲人和混血美国人中与肠双糖酶缺乏症的关联。前十分位多基因评分(PGS)预测了许多常见疾病的患者状态(1型糖尿病患者中有40%);在非欧洲人中,这种效应明显减弱。探索美国医学遗传学与基因组学学会(ACMG)临床基因组学罕见变异在人群中的分布,表明在经过整理的临床变异中存在欧洲偏差。使用计算预测的有害变异减轻这种偏差,我们确定了新的基因-疾病关联,包括东亚人中与血糖水平的关联。我们确定 作为司美格鲁肽对体重减轻影响的调节剂,此外还发现了不同祖先之间的变异性以及与2型糖尿病PGS的关系。我们提供了一个交互式网站门户,可在atlas - phewas.mednet.ucla.edu上访问跨祖先关联。总体而言,我们的研究结果支持祖先多样性在推进广泛人群精准健康方面的价值。
