Development of a polygenic risk score to improve detection of peripheral artery disease.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, yet timely diagnosis is elusive. Larger genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have now provided the ability to evaluate whether genetic data, in the form of genome-wide polygenic risk scores (PRS), can help improve our ability to identify patients at high risk of having PAD. METHODS: Using summary statistic...
