Abstract excerpt
Polygenic scores (PGSs) are genetic predictions of trait values or disease risk that are increasingly finding applications in clinical predictive models and basic genetics research. However, the predictive value of a PGS can vary within similar population groups, depending on characteristics such as the environmental exposures, sex, age, or socioeconomic status of the individuals. To maximize the value of a PGS,...
