Polygenic Risk Score for Cancer in African Population: A Systematic Review.

Annals of human genetics - 1 Mar 2026

Rashed Wafaa M, A Olagunju Abdulrahmon

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The aim of this systematic review is to identify all genome-wide association study (GWAS)-based polygenic risk score (PRS) studies (with different PRS approaches) reported in African ancestry populations diagnosed with any type of cancer. Additionally, this review assessed the role of PRS in advancing precision medicine through its clinical utility across different cancer types in African populations....
