Using a polygenic score to account for genomic risk factors in a model to detect individuals with dilated ascending thoracic aortas
2023-09-08
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Ascending thoracic aortic dilation is a complex trait that involves modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors and can lead to thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection. Clinical risk factors have been shown to predict ascending thoracic aortic diameter. Polygenic scores (PGS) are increasingly used to assess clinical risk for multifactorial diseases. The degree to which a PGS can improve aortic d...
