A polygenic risk score for coronary heart disease performs well in individuals aged 70 years and older

2021-03-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The use of a polygenic risk score (PRS) to predict coronary heart disease (CHD) events has been demonstrated in the general adult population. However, whether predictive performance extends to older individuals is unclear. <h4>Aim</h4> To evaluate the predictive value of a PRS for incident CHD events in a prospective cohort of individuals aged 70 years and older. <h4>Methods</h4> We used data f...
