IP Group plc has announced new research from Genomics, a science-led techbio company, demonstrating that the addition of polygenic risk scores $(PRS)$ improves the accuracy of the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction tool PREVENT. The results were presented at the American Heart Association Conference 2025. The study found that integrating PRS into CVD risk prediction tools enhances the identification of individuals at risk of heart disease across different ancestries. According to the research, millions of people currently at high risk of CVD in the U.S. may not be identified using traditional measures that do not include genetic risk. The findings suggest that incorporating PRS into clinical practice could make risk assessment more precise and equitable, potentially improving prevention efforts and outcomes for cardiovascular disease.
