Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) show promise for improving knee osteoarthritis (KOA) risk prediction. However, many KOA-associated variants are also linked to body mass index (BMI)-a major KOA risk factor-complicating the combined use of PRS and BMI in predictive models. This study aimed to disentangle BMI-mediated from BMI-independent genetic contributions to KOA by partitioning the KOA-PRS. METHOD:...
