On Genetic Correlation Estimation With Summary Statistics From Genome-Wide Association Studies
23 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
Cross-trait polygenic risk score (PRS) method has gained popularity for assessing genetic correlation of complex traits using summary statistics from biobank-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, empirical evidence has shown a common bias phenomenon that highly significant cross-trait PRS can only account for a very small amount of genetic variance (R2 can be <1%) in independent testing GWAS. The...
