Reliability of Ancestry-specific Prostate Cancer Genetic Risk Score in Four Racial and Ethnic Populations

open access: yesEuropean Urology Open Science, 2022
Background: Reliability of prostate cancer (PCa) genetic risk score (GRS), that is, the concordance between its estimated risk and observed risk, is required for genetic testing at the individual level.

A genetic risk score combining ten psoriasis risk loci improves disease prediction. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated skin disease affecting 2-3% of Caucasians. Recent genetic association studies have identified multiple psoriasis risk loci; however, most of these loci contribute only modestly to disease risk.

Traditional and Genetic Risk Score and Stroke Risk Prediction in Korea [PDF]

open access: yesKorean Circulation Journal, 2018
Whether using both traditional risk factors and genetic variants for stroke as opposed to using either of the 2 alone improves the prediction of stroke risk remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare the predictability of stroke risk between models using traditional risk score (TRS) and genetic risk score (GRS).We used a case-cohort ...

Evaluation of a Genetic Risk Score for Diagnosis of Psoriatic Arthritis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis, 2020
Background: Diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) can be challenging, resulting in delays that contribute to irreversible joint damage, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality. Objective: Use genetic markers to develop and ...

Brain structural alterations, genetic risk variants and the onset of psychosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
One of the central motivations behind research of the at-risk mental state is to prevent or delay potential transition to psychosis and further progression to schizophrenia, by studying the early signs and symptoms without potential confounding effects ...

Genetic Risk Score for Prediction of Coronary Heart Disease in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study

open access: yesReviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Background: Using a genetic risk score (GRS) to predict coronary heart disease (CHD) may detect disease earlier. The current study aims to assess whether GRS is associated with CHD incidence and whether it is clinically useful for improving prediction ...
