Epigenomic Assessment of Cardiovascular Disease Risk and Interactions With Traditional Risk Metrics

Abstract excerpt

Background Epigenome-wide association studies for cardiometabolic risk factors have discovered multiple loci associated with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, few studies have sought to directly optimize a predictor of CVD risk. Furthermore, it is challenging to train multivariate models across multiple studies in the presence of study- or batch effects. Methods and Results Here, we analyzed...
