Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Disease-causing mutations and pharmacogenomic variants are of primary interest for clinical whole-genome sequencing. However, estimating genetic liability for common complex diseases using established risk alleles might one day prove clinically useful. METHODS: We compared polygenic scoring methods using a case-control data set with independently discovered risk alleles in the MedSeq Project. For eight...
