Heart Disease Prediction Made Easier with New Polygenic Test

Investigators at Laval University in Quebec have just released data confirming the polygenic contribution of early-onset coronary artery disease (EOCAD). The researchers found that a polygenic risk score—based on multiple genetic differences—predicted significantly more cases of early-onset heart disease than standard tests for single genetic defects. Findings from the new study were published online today the American Heart Association's journal Circulation: Genomic and Precision Me
