10-year ASCVD risk prediction leads to older individuals being prioritized for statins missing opportunities for earlier risk recognition & prevention. Our work led by Sarah Urbut uses genetics & dynamic risk factor trajectories toward intersecting risk *early.*

Nice comparison of MR methods by Xianghong Hu published at AJHG AJHG (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…) - which concludes that the best MR method out of 16 considered is... the method that their group developed!
