Abstract excerpt
Abdominal aortic aneurysm has a high heritability and often co-occurs with other cardiometabolic disorders, suggesting shared genetic susceptibility. We investigate this commonality leveraging recent GWAS studies of abdominal aortic aneurysm and 32 cardiometabolic traits. We find significant genetic correlations between abdominal aortic aneurysm and 21 of the cardiometabolic traits investigated, including causal...
