Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common disease globally attributable to the interplay of complex genetic and lifestyle factors. Here, we review how genomic sequencing advances have broadened the fundamental understanding of the monogenic and polygenic contributions to CAD and how these insights can be utilized, in part by creating polygenic risk estimates, for improved disease risk...
