Genetic Risk Score Enhances Coronary Artery Disease Risk Prediction in Individuals With Type 1 Diabetes

CONCLUSIONSA GRS identified individuals at high risk of CAD and worked better in younger individuals. GRS was also an independent risk factor for CAD, with a predictive power comparable to that of HbA1c and HDL and total cholesterol, and when incorporated into a clinical model, modestly improved the predictions. The GRS promises early risk stratification in clinical practice by enhancing the prediction of CAD.
