Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: GWASs (genome-wide association studies) have advanced our understanding of coronary artery disease (CAD) genetics and enabled the development of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for estimating genetic risk based on common variant burden. However, GWASs have limitations in analyzing rare variants due to insufficient statistical power, thereby constraining PRS performance. METHODS: We conducted whole-genome...
