Epidemiological evaluation of the use of genetics to improve the predictive value of disease risk factors.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Apr 1995

Khoury M J, Wagener D K

Abstract excerpt

The prevention of common diseases relies on identifying risk factors and implementing intervention in high-risk groups. Nevertheless, most known risk factors have low positive predictive value (PPV) and low population-attributable fraction (PAF) for diseases (e.g., cholesterol and coronary heart disease). With advancing genetic technology, it will be possible to refine the risk-factor approach to target...
