Genomic Risk Prediction of Coronary Artery Disease in 480,000 Adults: Implications for Primary Prevention.

TLDR
The genomic score developed and evaluated here substantially advances the concept of using genomic information to stratify individuals with different trajectories of CAD risk and highlights the potential for genomic screening in early life to complement conventional risk prediction.

Validity of polygenic risk scores: are we measuring what we think we are?

TL;DR: This discussion of the validity of PRS reminds us that the authors need to keep questioning if weighted sums of risk alleles are measuring what they think they are in the various scenarios in which PRSs are used and that there needs to keep exploring alternative modeling strategies that might better reflect the underlying biological pathways.

Large-scale genome-wide association study of coronary artery disease in genetically diverse populations

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of coronary artery disease (CAD) incorporating nearly a quarter of a million cases, in which existing studies are integrated with data from cohorts of white, Black and Hispanic individuals from the Million Veteran Program as mentioned in this paper .
Journal ArticleDOI

On the utilization of polygenic risk scores for therapeutic targeting.

TL;DR: Call for more research designed to evaluate genetic likelihood of response to therapy and evaluation of PRS, not just in terms of sensitivity and specificity but also with respect to potential clinical efficacy is called for.

A reference panel of 64,976 haplotypes for genotype imputation

Shane A. McCarthy, +117 more
- 22 Aug 2016 - 
TL;DR: A reference panel of 64,976 human haplotypes at 39,235,157 SNPs constructed using whole-genome sequence data from 20 studies of predominantly European ancestry leads to accurate genotype imputation at minor allele frequencies as low as 0.1% and a large increase in the number of SNPs tested in association studies.

Comparison of Sociodemographic and Health-Related Characteristics of UK Biobank Participants With Those of the General Population.

TL;DR: UK Biobank is not representative of the sampling population; there is evidence of a “healthy volunteer” selection bias; valid assessment of exposure-disease relationships may be widely generalizable and does not require participants to be Representative of the population at large.

- 07 Sep 2015 - 
TL;DR: This article conducted a meta-analysis of coronary artery disease (CAD) cases and controls, interrogating 6.7 million common (minor allele frequency (MAF) > 0.05) and 2.7 millions low-frequency (0.005 < MAF < 0.5) variants.
