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.

BMD-Related Genetic Risk Scores Predict Site-Specific Fractures as Well as Trabecular and Cortical Bone Microstructure.

TL;DR: It is proposed that eBMDGRS captures unique information about trabecular bone microstructure useful for prediction of forearm and vertebral fractures and may facilitate personalized medicine to predict site-specific fractures as well as cortical and trabECular bonemicrostructure separately.
Journal ArticleDOI

Technological readiness and implementation of genomic-driven precision medicine for complex diseases.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of genomic-driven precision medicine (GDPM) for complex diseases across major medical specialties is provided in this article, where the authors focus on technological readiness and how rapidly a test can be implemented into health care.
Journal ArticleDOI

New Insights in the Control of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol to Prevent Cardiovascular Disease.

TL;DR: Early, long-term treatment with LDL-C-lowering therapies has the potential to markedly reduce CVD incidence and progression and future research should aim to identify patient characteristics that enable physicians to tailor therapy to each individual patient.

Impact of polygenic risk communication: an observational mobile application-based coronary artery disease study

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors developed a smartphone application, MyGeneRank , to conduct a prospective observational cohort study (NCT03277365) involving the automated generation, communication and electronic capture of response to a polygenic risk score (PRS) for coronary artery disease (CAD).

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.

A comprehensive 1000 Genomes–based genome-wide association meta-analysis of coronary artery disease

Majid Nikpay, +167 more
- 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.
