Polygenic Risk Scores of Coronary Heart Disease in Chronic Kidney Disease Population: The CRIC Study.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study checked if a person's genetic risk for heart disease can predict heart problems in people with kidney disease. It found that adding this genetic score to standard risk tools improved predictions. Because it is an observational study, it shows a link but not proof of cause. It may help doctors spot high-risk patients earlier.
