Effect of monogenic mutation or polygenic score on odds for extremely high or low LDL-C

Extremely high LDL-C
Ancestry N total N extreme Monogenic carrier (Nextreme) High polygenic score (Nextreme) Monogenic carrier OR (95% CI) Monogenic carrier P-value Monogenic carrier PAF High polygenic score OR (95% CI) High polygenic score P-value Top 5th percentile of polygenic score PAF
EA 5910 284 5 64 10.92 (3.71, 32.14) 1.4 × 10−5 1.60 7.65 (5.56, 10.52) 5.7 × 10−36 19.6
AA 4380 217 7 29 7.43 (3.01, 18.35) 1.4 × 10−5 2.79 3.2 (2.1, 4.89) 6.7 × 10−8 9.2
Extremely Low LDL-C
Ancestry N total N extreme Monogenic carrier (Nextreme) Low polygenic score ( N extreme ) Monogenic carrier OR (95% CI) Monogenic carrier P -value Monogenic carrier PAF Low polygenic score OR (95% CI) Low polygenic score P -value Bottom 5th percentile of polygenic score PAF

Values are represented as OR [95% CI] for association with given trait. (b). Effect of monogenic mutation or polygenic score on LDL-C in mg/dl. Values are represented as beta [95% CI] in mg/dl for LDL-C. Multi-variable associations were performed with sex + age + age2 (effects not listed) with monogenic carrier status + high polygenic score using logistic regression. Polygenic risk score was derived from 2 million variants using LDpred. High polygenic score was defined as membership in the top 5th percentile of the ancestry-specific score distribution. AA, African American; EA, European American; SE, standard error.
