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.

Hidden \'risk\' in polygenic scores: clinical use today could exacerbate health disparities

TL;DR: Polygenic risk scores provide a new opportunity to improve health outcomes for many diseases in all populations, but to realize this full potential equitably, greater inclusivity of diverse study participants in genetic studies and open access to resulting summary statistics must be prioritize to ensure that health disparities are not increased for those already most underserved.

Polygenic scores in biomedical research

TL;DR: In this paper , the utility of polygenic risk scores and their strengths and limitations are discussed, and the remaining barriers that need to be overcome for their equitable use are also discussed.

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.

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.
