Current polygenic risk scores are unlikely to exacerbate unfairness in cardiovascular disease risk prediction

2025-09-19

Abstract excerpt

1 <h4>Background</h4> Current cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction models place many individuals in an intermediate risk category where clinical decision-making remains uncertain, highlighting a critical gap in precision prevention. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) represent a promising solution to enhance risk stratification in intermediate-risk groups by identifying individuals with high genetic risk; howeve...
