The addition of three variants, namely PTGS2 rs4648268, PTGES3 rs2958155 and PTGES3 rs11300958, to a predictive model for CV events containing classic risk factors in nephrosclerosis patients, significantly enhanced its statistical power (AUC value increased from 78.6 to 87.4%, p = 0.0003). The gene discussed is PTGES3; the disease is nephrosclerosis.
