Comparison of Genetic Susceptibility to Coronary Heart Disease in the Hungarian Populations: Risk Prediction Models for Coronary Heart Disease.

ABSTRACT: Background and Aim: It was evaluated whether the integration of genetic risk scores (GRS-unweighted, wGRS-weighted) into conventional risk factor (CRF) models for coronary heart disease or acute myocardial infarction (CHD/AMI) could improve the predictive ability of the models. Methods: Subjects and data collected in a previous survey were used to perform regression and ROC curve analyses as well as to examine the role of genetic components. Thirty SNPs were selected, and genotype and phenotype data were available for 558 participants (general: N = 279 and Roma: N = 279). Results: The mean GRS (27.27 ± 3.43 vs. 26.68 ± 3.51, p = 0.046) and wGRS (3.52 ± 0.68 vs. 3.33 ± 0.62, p = 0.001) were significantly higher in the general population. The addition of th
