Abstract excerpt
Since organisms develop and thrive in the face of constant perturbations due to environmental and genetic variation, species may evolve resilient genetic architectures. We sought evidence for this process, known as canalization, through a comparison of the prevalence of phenotypes as a function of the polygenic score (PGS) across environments in the UK Biobank cohort study. Contrasting seven diseases and three...
