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.

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.
