Cardiovascular disease risk prediction using genetic information (gene scores): is it really informative?

Current opinion in lipidology - 1 Apr 2008

Humphries Steve E, Yiannakouris Nikos, Talmud Philippa J

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: DNA-based tests for assessment of genetic predisposition to coronary heart disease need to provide information over and above that of conventional risk factors. The efficacy of selected 'candidate' gene loci in risk algorithms, to improve the predictive accuracy for coronary he...
