    Objective To examine association of COVID-19 with incident cardiovascular events in 17 871 UK Biobank cases between March 2020 and 2021. Methods COVID-19 cases were defined using health record linkage. Each case was propensity score-matched to two uninfected controls on age, sex, deprivation, body mass index, ethnicity, diabetes, prevalent ischaemic heart disease (IHD), smoking, hypertension and…

    Author summary In recent years, there is an increased interest of estimating heritability from genome-wide SNP data in large scale cohort studies. Here, we propose the PredLMM, a computationally rapid and memory-efficient linear mixed model for heritability estimation. The proposed approach can estimate SNP heritability on Biobank-scale datasets in a fraction of time compared to the existing…

    Author summary Polygenic risk score (PRS), an approach to estimate genetic predisposition on disease liability by aggregating the effects across multiple genetic variants, has attracted increasing research interest. While there have been improvements in the predictive performance of PRS for some traits, the applicability of PRS models across a wide range of human traits has not been clear. Here,…
