概括
多基因风险评分 (PRS) 显示出预测动脉样硬化心血管疾病 (ASCVD) 的前景. 然而,它们在东亚人群中的有效性,如日本人群,需要进一步验证,以获得公平的临床使用.
科学领域:
- 遗传学 是一个遗传学.
- 心脏病学 心脏病学
- 流行病学 流行病学
背景情况:
- 多基因风险评分 (PRS) 是从常见的单核酸多形态 (SNP) 开发出来的,用于预测未来的动脉样硬化心血管疾病 (ASCVD).
- PRS显示与ASCVD结果的独立关联,支持他们考虑加强风险分层和初级预防.
- 目前对PRS的证据主要来自欧洲祖先种群,这引发了人们对包括东亚人在内的其他祖先的概括性的担忧.
研究的目的:
- 审查关于PRS和ASCVD结果之间的相关性流行病学证据,特别关注日本队列.
- 讨论PRS作为决策支持工具的潜在临床实用性及其与传统风险因素相比的附加值.
- 突出进一步研究的需要,特别是对像日本这样多样化的人口进行前性研究,以验证和实施PRS.
主要方法:
- 对检查PRS和ASCVD结果之间的关联的流行病学研究进行系统审查.
- 专注于在日本人群中进行的研究,以评估PRS的概括性和临床实用性.
- 与已确定的心血管风险因素相比,PRS的增量值的分析.
主要成果:
- 有证据表明,PRS与ASCVD结果有关,但其在非欧洲人群中的表现,包括日本人群,不那么确立.
- 在日本人口中存在有限的前性研究,正在进行验证和实施工作.
- 审查强调了PRS的潜力,以补充传统的风险评估,以便早期识别高风险个体.
结论:
- 进一步的大规模研究对于评估PRS在不同人群中的临床效用至关重要,特别是在东亚人群中.
- 扩大祖先特定生物库和提高PRS可转移性对于ASCVD预防中公平的基因组风险预测至关重要.
- 目前正在日本人口中进行验证和实施研究,旨在将PRS纳入临床实践.

Polygenic Traits
66.6K
When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
14.4K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Human Genetics

Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches
180
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

What is Population Genetics?
59.7K
A population is composed of members of the same species that simultaneously live and interact in the same area. When individuals in a population breed, they pass down their genes to their offspring. Many of these genes are polymorphic, meaning that they occur in multiple variants. Such variations of a gene are referred to as alleles. The collective set of all the alleles within a population is known as the gene pool.

Relative Risk
356
Relative risk (RR) is a statistical measure commonly used in epidemiology to compare the likelihood of a particular event occurring between two groups. This metric is important for evaluating the relationship between exposure to a specific risk factor and the probability of a particular outcome. It plays a crucial role in medical research, public health studies, and risk assessment. Relative risk quantifies how much more (or less) likely an event is to occur in an exposed group compared to an...
