Excited to share our preprint on the integrated genomic model for coronary artery disease (CAD)🧬! We integrated 6 genetic drivers (PRS, FH, CHIP, LTL, ProPRS, MetPRS) to enhance risk prediction for CAD From Broad Institute MGH Cardiovascular Research Center and Chinese Academy of Science Thread🧵~


I'm thrilled to share our latest preprint on metabolic polygenic risk score🧬! We developed metabolic PRS using multi-ancestry GWAS of 22 metabolic traits from over 10 million people. w/ Alisa Chen, Yang Sui, Akl Fahed Patrick Ellinor Pradeep Natarajan, and more Thread🧵
