Abstract excerpt
Polygenic risk score models (PRSs) are important tools in precision medicine, enabling personalized risk prediction; however, they raise privacy concerns. Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) provides a potential solution, allowing computation on encrypted genomic data. Here, we develop an open-source implementation of FHE for PRS (HEPRS), available online. HEPRS involves a three party system: clients (clinicians...
