Use of polygenic risk scores and other molecular markers to enhance cardiovascular risk prediction: prospective cohort study and modelling analysis

2019-08-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> There is debate about the value of adding information on genetic and other molecular markers to conventional cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk predictors. <h4>Methods</h4> Using data on 306,654 individuals without a history of CVD from UK Biobank, we calculated measures of risk-discrimination and reclassification upon addition of polygenic risk scores (PRS) and a panel of 27 clinical biochemi...
