Are you considering all available risk factors when deciding whether to prescribe lipid-lowering therapies? Are you confident you're identifying all the high-risk individuals who come to your office? Statins are recommended for individuals who have a >10% chance of CVD in the next ten years who also have a risk enhancing factor. Risk enhancers include things like: - Diabetes / 2-4 times increase in risk - Dyslipidemia / 2 times increase - Hypertension / 1.5 times increase - Smoking / 2 times increase But there is another key risk factor that’s missing from this list. Polygenic risk scores. PRSs identify individuals with an equivalent increase in CVD risk to these risk enhancers. Genetic risk from PRSs is orthogonal to these other risk factors meaning that without a PRS test, patients at high risk are routinely being missed. They are flying under the radar and are not getting the help they need to mitigate this risk. Allelica, Inc's multi-ancestry PRSs for coronary artery disease identify a significant proportion of people (between 25% and 12% depending on ancestry) who have at least twice the risk of people without this risk factor. Given their established effect on CVD risk -- and their prevalence in the population -- these high PRS can be used as risk enhancers. Knowing your patient’s PRS provides actionable insight into your CVD risk and is a critical piece of information that can help patients and their doctors work out how to best to drive down their 10 year CVD risk and avoid future ill health through preventative measures. Get in touch to find out how we can get you quickly set up to implement Allelica, Inc's PRSs and join others who are using this crucial piece of information to enhance CVD prevention in their clinical practice. #polygenicriskscores #prevention #cardiovasculardisease https://lnkd.in/eQGrBa4W https://lnkd.in/evs7y7XY https://lnkd.in/edmzmz5K

Every year, Dallas Startup Week brings together entrepreneurs and change-makers for a week-long experience, described as the largest entrepreneurial event in North Texas, where they exchange ideas, collaborate, and grow alongside the 10th largest startup ecosystem in the US. This year, I had the honor of participating in the “Leveraging Technology: AI, VR, ChatGPT, Cybersecurity, Metaverse & More!” panel alongside Monika Kumar, Cynthia Comparin, and moderator, Shoba Krishnamurthy for the #WomenOfInnovationSummit. I enjoyed sharing my journey growing up and the challenges that motivated and defined my decision to become an entrepreneur. The only limitation of technology is your own creativity. Be a dreamer, but also a doer.

Human beings are such an interesting species, and one of the most exciting aspects is the diversity between populations and how we've adapted to different environments. This diversity makes our world a truly fascinating place. Allelica's ancestry-first approach to clinical PRS implementation recognizes this by developing PRS that reflect the genetic diversity across populations. It's a crucial step toward more equitable and precise medicine. #precisionmedicine #polygenicriskscore #ancestry #diversity
