Predicting Thoracic Aortic Dissection in a Diverse Biobank Using a Polygenic Risk Score
1 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Thoracic aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition that often occurs in the presence of aortic dilation. However, currently there are limited clinical risk factors beyond aortic diameter (AoD) used to determine individual-level dissection risk. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine whether common variant genetics can be used to improve identification of individuals most at...
