Brief unreferenced abstractThe genetics underlying cancer and cardiovascular disease have been studied for decades. However, despite sharing numerous risk factors and pathologic features, the contribution of shared genetics in these diseases remains poorly defined. Our study sought to identify common genetic factors between these two diseases. We found a unique relationship between coronary artery disease and prostate cancer that appears to be mediated through germline genetic variation in LPA.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
