Identification of susceptibility loci for cardiovascular disease in adults with hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33632238
ABSTRACT: Background Hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM), and dyslipidemia (DL) are well-known risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but not all patients develop CVDs. Studies have been limited investigating genetic risk of CVDs specific to individuals with metabolic diseases. This study aimed to identify disease-specific and/or common genetic loci associated with CVD susceptibility in chronic metabolic disease patients. Methods We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of a multiple case-control design with data from the City Cohort within Health EXAminees subcohort of the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES_HEXA). KoGES_HEXA is a population-based prospective cohort of 173,357 urban Korean adults that had health examinations at medical centers. 42,393 pa

Discuss with your doctor
-
stroke risk management in diabetes Moderate
This CRTAC1 variant is significantly associated with increased ischemic stroke risk in individuals with diabetes mellitus.
Discuss personalized stroke prevention strategy with your physician if you have diabetes
Screening
-
cardiovascular risk factors if diabetic Moderate
Carriers of this variant show elevated stroke risk in diabetes, necessitating closer monitoring of modifiable stroke risk markers.
Annual blood pressure, lipid panel, glucose monitoring; discuss antiplatelet therapy if indicated
