Genetic markers associated with long term cardiovascular outcome in kidney transplant recipients

• There is a clear genetic contribution to the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and a composite genetic risk score (GRS) based on 27 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was reported to predict risk of cardiovascular events in the general population. We aimed to evaluate this risk score in renal transplant recipients, a population with heightened cardiovascular risk, with a yet unknown genetic contribution. This article is protected by copyright.
