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.

Assessing agreement between different polygenic risk scores in the UK Biobank

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compared two recently published polygenic risk scores (PRS) for each of three conditions, breast cancer, hypertension and dementia, to assess the stability of using these algorithms for risk prediction in a single large population.

Polygenic Risk Score for Coronary Artery Disease Improves the Prediction of Early-Onset Myocardial Infarction and Mortality in Men

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of a polygenic risk score (PRS) could improve CAD risk as compared to using a genetic risk score, which was used to identify the risk factors for coronary artery disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

The contribution of genomics in the medicine of tomorrow, clinical applications and issues.

TL;DR: Medico-economic studies must be conducted to inform policy-makers on the cost-effectiveness of complete genome sequencing for population health and the sociological effects on the experience and expectations of patients and the general population towards genomic medicine should be evaluated.

Hypertension and the roles of the 9p21.3 risk locus: Classic findings and new association data.

TL;DR: Original results from a Colombian study reveal moderate but persistent association signals for BP and hypertension within the classic 9p21.3 CVD risk locus, with confirmation in data originating from much larger, recent European BP studies, albeit with opposite effect directions.

Reproducibility in the UK Biobank of Genome-Wide Significant Signals Discovered in Earlier Genome-wide Association Studies

TL;DR: Using the discovery SNP effect size, phenotype trait (binary or quantitative), and discovery p-value, a model was built and validated that predicted SNP replication with area under the Receiver Operator Curve = 0.90 and provided insights about which discovered associations are likely to be seen again across subsequent GWAS.

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.
