Abstract excerpt
Using a genetic risk score (GRS) to predict a phenotype in a target sample can be complicated by missing data on the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that comprise the GRS. This is usually addressed by imputation, omission of the SNPs or by replacing the missing SNPs with proxy SNPs. To assess the impact of the omission and proxy approaches on effect size estimation and predictive ability of weighted and...
