Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Advances in high-throughput genomics facilitate the identification of novel genetic susceptibility variants for coronary heart disease (CHD). This may improve CHD risk prediction. The aim of the present simulation study was to investigate to what degree CHD risk can be predicted by testing multiple genetic variants (genetic profiling). METHODS: We simulated genetic profiles for a population of 100,000...
