Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The polygenic score (PGS) is an estimate of an individual's genetic susceptibility to a specific complex trait and has been instrumental to the development of precision medicine. As an increasing number of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have emerged, numerous sophisticated statistical and computational methods have been developed to facilitate the PGS construction. However, both the complex...
