Abstract excerpt
The atopic march lacks early identification methods for high-risk children. In this study, we assessed whether the risk of atopic diseases in infants could be predicted using a polygenic score (PGS) for total immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels. The PGS estimated using the polygenic model generated by PRS-CS was significantly correlated with log-transformed IgE levels (ρ = 0.200, p < 2.2 × 10-16). Assessment of the...
