Genetic markers enhance coronary risk prediction in men: the MORGAM prospective cohorts.
<h4>Background</h4>More accurate coronary heart disease (CHD) prediction, specifically in middle-aged men, is needed to reduce the burden of disease more effectively. We hypothesised that a multilocus genetic risk score could refine CHD prediction beyond classic risk scores and obtain mo...
