Polygenic risk scores in familial hypercholesterolemia. Do they have a role?

Several studies have explored the potential clinical relevance of PRS in FH, including for diagnostic purpose and in cardiovascular risk stratification. Prior to implementation in clinical practice for cardiovascular risk stratification, future studies in FH should determine whether the polygenic information offers incremental predictive value over conventional clinical variables.

Abstract

Several studies have explored the potential clinical relevance of PRS in FH, including for diagnostic purpose and in cardiovascular risk stratification. Prior to implementation in clinical practice for cardiovascular risk stratification, future studies in FH should determine whether the polygenic information offers incremental predictive value over conventional clinical variables.
