Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Polygenic risk score (PRS) have proved to offer robust risk prediction for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the global CAD PRS summarizes the joint effects of all the markers in the genome, masking potential genetic heterogeneity that may be important for disease interpretation and targeted interventions. METHODS: Using summary-level data, we identified 43 significant CAD-related traits based...
