Genetic Risk Score (GRS13) for Lipid Disorders: Explanation and Clinical Context
The GRS13 is a polygenic risk score calculated from 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with lipid abnormalities, including elevated LDL-C, low HDL-C, and hypertriglyceridemia.
Each SNP contributes to the score based on the number of risk alleles (0,1,2) and their effect sizes derived from genome-wide association studies.
The total score stratifies individuals according to their genetic predisposition to dyslipidemia, which can complement traditional clinical risk assessment and guide early prevention strategies.
Higher scores suggest a greater likelihood of developing lipid disorders and may inform personalized lifestyle or pharmacologic interventions.
