Very excited to share our study spearheaded by A. Misra & @AniruddhPatelMD describing the development & validation of our clinical multi-CVD polygenic risk score test, including how it might inform CVD prevention sciencedirect.com/science/ar… @JACCJournals Any clinician can order this @MassGenBrigham @broadinstitute test today: massgeneralbrigham.org/en/re… We used an integrated framework we previously developed and described to maximize performance and score stability, and allow for versioning as genomic interpretation continually improves. cell.com/cell-genomics/fullt… nature.com/articles/s41467-0… The score was optimized in the nationwide @NIH @AllofUsResearch Program to enhance generalizability across communities, with validation in the @MassGenBrigham Biobank @amandajowell @buutrg @aklfahed @shaan_khurshid @patrick_ellinor @nialljlennon @HornsbyWhitney @EWkarlson

eMERGE returned PRS/Fam Hx/Mono results to n=23,840, 35% hi-risk for ≥1 of 11 diseases. Note: 1) high burden of genetic risk for common disease; 2) large-scale genomic risk assessment is feasible; 3) equity challenges must be addressed for implementation doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg.2026.…

Our @AHAScience Policy Statement on Genetic and Genomic Testing in Cardiovascular Disease ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/… @CircAHA "The goal of this policy statement is to articulate the position of the American Heart Association (AHA) in key areas of public policy concerning genetic (≥1 genes) and genomic (coding and non-coding genome) testing."

Excited to see a standalone PRS paper for large-scale Taiwanese cohort in a duo of flagship papers (nature.com/articles/s41586-0… and nature.com/articles/s41586-0…). Even more thrilled to see PRSmix+ (via cross-trait integration) yields consistent performance across different target traits!

Admixture in humans is widespread & every individual is admixed to some degree A review by @yunliunc et al of methods for local ancestry inference (LAI) & how LAI can be used for admixture mapping, association testing, and for calculating polygenic risk scores @PRSdiversity
A new Review in @AJHGNews provides an overview of methods for inferring local ancestry & discusses their application to different types of genetic analyses: cell.com/ajhg/abstract/S0002… #ASHG #HumanGenetics #GeneticsDiscoveries @yunliunc

Terrific work from @iftikhar_kullo. *10y* fu MI-GENES trial (ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/… @CircAHA) now shows that CAD PRS disclosure vs not on top of clinical risk disclosure for intermediate risk adults leads to reduction in MACE ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/… @Circ_Gen #ACC25 Small trial that now requires confirmation across multiple sites with contemporary PRS and clinical risk scores. My editorial for the original MI-GENES report in 2016 ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/… @CircAHA @PRSdiversity
MI-GENES randomized patients at intermediate cardiovascular risk to disclosure of framingham risk score 🆚an integrated score also incuding a polygenic risk score (PRS)🧬 Disclosing the PRS led to 👉lower LDL 👉higher statin initiation 👉lower 10-y cardiovascular event rates

Individual polygenic risk scores for the same trait can yield different results due to various derivation differences. Our study led by A. Misra & w @AniruddhPatelMD demonstrates how successive score integration can improve accuracy & stability nature.com/articles/s41467-0… @NatureComms

Current polygenic risk scores require binning of ancestry groups but we know ancestry is a continuum. Our study led by @Yunfeng_Ruan introduces DiscoDivas, a new generalizable PRS framework across the ancestry spectrum medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @medrxivpreprint @PRSdiversity
