Abstract excerpt
Polygenic risk scores (PGS) have the potential to support enhanced, risk-based screening for breast cancer. Previous studies for many diseases found that genome-wide PGS (GW-PGS) outperform PGS derived by applying hard GWAS significance thresholds. To support future breast cancer risk predictions, we compared the predictive performance of two existing PGS (including PGS313, a leading hard-thresholding PGS) and...
