Abstract excerpt
Genetic risk scores (GRS) are crucial tools for estimating an individual's genetic liability to various traits and diseases, computed as a weighted sum of trait-associated allele counts. Traditionally, GRS models assume additive, linear effects of risk variants. However, complex traits often involve nonadditive interactions, such as epistasis, which are not captured by these conventional methods. In this study,...
