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.

Genetics of Type 2 Diabetes: Past, Present, and Future

Markku Laakso, +1 more
- 01 Aug 2022 - 
TL;DR: How studies on the genetics of diabetes started, how they expanded when genome-wide association studies and exome and whole-genome sequencing became available, and the current challenges in genetic studies of diabetes are discussed are discussed.

Family history and polygenic risk of cardiovascular disease: Independent factors associated with secondary cardiovascular events in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.

TL;DR: In CEA patients, both positive FHx and higherMetaGRS were independently associated with increased risk of sCVE and higher MetaGRS was associated with vulnerable plaque characteristics, suggesting future studies should unravel underlying mechanisms and focus on the added value of PRS and Fhx in individual risk prediction for sCVE.

The association between bone mineral density gene variants and osteocalcin at baseline, and in response to exercise: the gene SMART study

TL;DR: Screening for genetic variations may assist in identifying people at risk for abnormal circulating levels of OC at baseline/rest, indicating that physiological functional response to exercise may be influenced by bone-related gene variants.

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.
