[Genetic study of cardiovascular disease subtypes defined by International Classification of Diseases].

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To study the molecular connection among cardiovascular diseases (CVD) subtypes defined by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) version 10 (ICD-10).

Methods

Both phenotypic data and genotypic data used in this study were obtained from the UK Biobank. A total of 380 083 participants aged between 40 and 69 years were included. Those without any cardiovascular disease (either no ICD-10 code at all or no ICD-10 code containing letter I) were assigned to the control group. The five CVD subtypes were: ischaemic heart diseases (IHD), pulmonary heart disease and diseases of pulmonary circulation (PHD), cerebrovascular diseases (CRB), diseases of arteries, arterioles and capillaries (AAC), diseases of veins, lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes, and diseases not e
