Polygenic risk of coronary artery disease for long-term survivors of breast cancer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death for long-term breast cancer survivors. We evaluated whether a polygenic risk score for coronary artery disease (CAD-PRS) was associated with the risk of incident CAD for survivors of unilateral or contralateral breast cancer. METHODS: The study included 1307 women with breast cancer first diagnosed at younger than 55 years of age who participated in the Women's Environmental Cancer and Radiation Epidemiology Follow-up Study. The CAD-PRS was based on a PRS developed and validated in a separate population. We modeled the association between incident CAD and the CAD-PRS, adjusting for age, CAD risk factors, first (and second) breast cancer treatment, study recruitment phase, and genetic population stratification. We also explored whether the risk of CAD depended on interactions between the CAD-PRS and cardiotoxic cancer treatment. RESULTS: There were 66 incident CAD diagnoses reported at a median of 16 years after breast cancer diagnosis. Participants with CAD-PRS at or above the median had a 2.48-times increased risk of CAD (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.44 to 4.29) relative to participants with CAD-PRS below the median. Anthracycline-based chemotherapy was associated with increased CAD risk (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.04, 95% CI = 1.04 to 3.98), and the association was not modified by the CAD-PRS. The association between incident CAD and left-sided radiation therapy (RT) was increased for those with CAD-PRS at or above the median (HR = 2.90, 95% CI = 1.26 to 6.68) but not for those with CAD-PRS below the median (HR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.32 to 2.88). There was evidence of super-additive interaction between the CAD-PRS and left-sided RT (relative excess risk due to interaction = 2.06, 95% CI = 0.05 to 4.06). CONCLUSION: A genome-wide CAD-PRS was associated with nonfatal CAD risk for long-term breast cancer survivors, providing potential utility for personalized cardiovascular care, particularly after RT.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
