Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Polygenic risk scores (PGS) enable rapid estimation of genome-wide susceptibility for traits, which may be useful in clinical settings, such as prediction of QT interval. In this study, we sought to validate PGS for QT interval in 2 real-world cohorts of European ancestry (EA) and African ancestry (AA). METHODS AND RESULTS: Two thousand nine hundred and fifteen participants of EA and 366 of AA in the...
