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.

Incorporating a Polygenic Risk Score-Triaged Coronary Calcium Score into Cardiovascular Disease Examinations to Identify SubClinicAL coronAry arTEry Disease (ESCALATE): Protocol for a Prospective, Non-Randomised Implementation Trial.

TL;DR: The ESCALATE study as discussed by the authors evaluated the utility of polygenic risk scores (PRS) to identify individuals with subclinical coronary artery disease via a novel clinical pathway, triaging low or intermediate absolute risk individuals for non-invasive coronary imaging, and examining the impact on shared treatment decisions and participant experience.

Evaluation of a genetic risk score computed using human chromosomal-scale length variation to predict breast cancer

Charmeine Ko, +1 more
- 16 Jun 2023 - 
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors developed computational methods to characterize a genome by a small set of numbers that represent the length of segments of the chromosomes, called chromosomal-scale length variation (CSLV).

Genetic Risk of Cardiovascular Disease is Associated with Macular GCIPL Thinning in an Early Glaucoma Cohort

TL;DR: In this article , the association between genetic risk for cardiovascular disease and retinal thinning in early glaucoma patients was evaluated using a prospective, observational genetic association study, where participants were characterized as showing either predominantly macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL), peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) or equivalent macular GCIPL and pRNFL spectral-domain OCT thinning.

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.
