A Polygenic Risk Score for Coronary Artery Disease Improves the Prediction of Early-Onset Myocardial Infarction and Mortality in Men

2021-04-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Several risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) have been described, some of which are genetically determined. The use of a polygenic risk score (PRS) could improve CAD risk assessment, but predictive accuracy according to age and sex is not well established. <h4>Methods</h4> A PRS CAD including the weighted effects of >1.14 million SNPs associated with CAD was calculat...
