SCORE2 may underestimate risk in those classified as low-to-moderate risk. Polygenic risk scores (PGS) capture genetic predisposition to CVD and could enhance traditional models. This study examines whether integrating PGS with SCORE2 improves the prediction of significant subclinical coronary atherosclerosis, defined as coronary artery calcium (CAC) >100.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We analyzed data from 1,420 participants in the Paracelsus 10,000 cohort with available PGS, SCORE2, and CAC measurements. Predictive performance was compared across SCORE2 alone, PGS alone, and their combination, assessed using the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).

The addition of PGS, particularly in the highest quintiles, significantly enhanced classification accuracy for CAC >100.
