Genetic distance informs polygenic score predictive accuracy.

Abstract excerpt

Polygenic scores (PGSs) aggregate the effects of variants across the genome to estimate genetic liability, but have lower performance in external study populations. A new study by Ding et al. has applied a novel framework to estimate the individual-level predictive accuracy of PGSs, and demonstrates that performance reduction occurs linearly with genetic distance.
