New LMS research shows how a risk score based on an individual’s genetic profile could help doctors predict the likelihood of them developing a deadly heart condition in the future 🧬🫀

Doctors could soon begin offering patients and families personalised advice on their risk of developing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, thanks to a new study on genomic risk scores that estimates risk based on a person's DNA 🧬🫀

We created PGS using sumstats from our linked GWAS study www.nature.com/articles/s41..., evaluating it across a range of clinical settings in several cohorts. 1/n

Congratulations Dr Sean Zheng on being featured as a rising star in CardioPulse – a European Heart Journal mini-series that shines a spotlight on early career researchers in cardiology!🎊

Genome-wide association analyses in Nature Genetics provide insights into the molecular etiology of dilated cardiomyopathy, which may inform the design of genetic testing strategies and may facilitate the development of targeted therapeutics. https://go.nature.com/4fIkNmh 🧪
