Polygenic risk for triglyceride levels in the presence of a high impact rare variant
2023-09-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Elevated triglyceride (TG) levels are a heritable and modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and have well-established associations with common genetic variation captured in a polygenic risk score (PRS). In young adulthood, the 22q11.2 microdeletion conveys a 2-fold increased risk for mild-moderate hypertriglyceridemia. This study aimed to assess the role of the TG-PRS in individua...
