High lipoprotein(a) [(Lp(a)] is a genetically determined, important risk factor for cardiovascular disease that should be (but isn't) routinely measured (at least once). There are 5 drugs that look highly effective for markedly lowering levels in clinical trials. This new

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🧵~

Germline monogenic and polygenic risk are associated with acute coronary syndromes presentation, severity and burden of atherosclerosis, and risk of repeat angiogram, revascularization, and in-stent restenosis. @ozanunlumd ja.ma/42ogBEG

🧵1/ Last year, a thoughtful reply to our JAMA article sent me down a rabbit hole on CVD prevention. Should statins be prescribed less or more often? Available OTC? Added to the water supply?? Let’s talk trials, thresholds, and tradeoffs!

A high polygenic risk score (PRS) for screening prostate cancer was superior to a PSA test or MRI for detecting clinically significant disease (Gleason ≥7). A big step forward for supporting utility of PRS NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
