Measured and genetically predicted protein levels and cardiovascular diseases in UK Biobank and China Kadoorie Biobank.

Abstract excerpt

Several large-scale studies have measured plasma levels of the proteome in individuals with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs)1-7. However, since the majority of such proteins are interrelated2, it is difficult for observational studies to distinguish which proteins are likely to be of etiological relevance. Here we evaluate whether plasma levels of 2,919 proteins measured in 52,164 UK Biobank participants are...
