Current Applications of Genetic Risk Scores to Cardiovascular Outcomes and Subclinical Phenotypes
30 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
Genetic risk scores are a useful tool for examining the cumulative predictive ability of genetic variation on cardiovascular disease. Important considerations for creating genetic risk scores include the choice of genetic variants, weighting, and comparability across ethnicities. Genetic risk scores that use information from genome-wide meta-analyses can successfully predict cardiovascular outcomes and...
