Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In Europeans, 45 genetic risk variants for coronary artery disease (CAD) have been identified in genome-wide association studies. We constructed a genetic risk score (GRS) of these variants to estimate the effect on incidence and clinical predictability of myocardial infarction (MI) and CAD. METHODS: Genotype was available from 6041 Danes. An unweighted GRS was constructed by making a summated score...
