AORTA Gene: Polygenic prediction improves detection of thoracic aortic aneurysm

2023-08-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Thoracic aortic disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the US, and aortic diameter is a heritable contributor to risk. Could a polygenic prediction of ascending aortic diameter improve detection of aortic aneurysm? <h4>Methods</h4> Deep learning was used to measure ascending thoracic aortic diameter in 49,939 UK Biobank participants. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) w...
