Contemporary Considerations for Constructing a Genetic Risk Score: An Empirical Approach.

Genetic epidemiology - 1 Sept 2015

Goldstein Benjamin A, Yang Lingyao, Salfati Elias, Assimes Themistoclies L

Abstract excerpt

Genetic risk scores are an increasingly popular tool for summarizing the cumulative risk of a set of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) with disease. Typically only the set of the SNPs that have reached genome-wide significance compose these scores. However recent work suggests that including...
