Abstract excerpt
Importance: Risk factors for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are largely unknown, which has hampered the development of nonsurgical treatments to alter the natural history of disease.

Design, Setting, and Participants: Genetic risk scores, composed of lipid trait-associated SNPs, were...
