Abstract excerpt
In the past decade, numerous advances were achieved in psychiatric genetics. Particularly, the genome wide association studies (GWAS) have contributed to uncovering new genes and pathways associated to psychiatric disorders (PDs). At the same time, with increasing sample sizes in the GWAS, the polygenic risk score (PRS) promoted an additional tool for identification and evaluation the genetic risk quantitatively...
