Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5) is a major cardiovascular risk factor, yet its interaction with genetic susceptibility in coronary artery disease (CAD) remains uncertain. We investigated the independent and joint effects of PM2.5 and polygenic risk on incident CAD. METHODS: A genome-wide polygenic risk score (PRS) was derived using a five-fold cross-validation framework...
