Abstract excerpt
Accurate prediction of disease risk and other complex traits across different populations is essential for clinical and research purposes. However, genetic differences among ancestries, such as allelic frequencies and genetic architecture, can affect the performance of polygenic risk score (PGS) methods in cross-ancestry prediction. To address this issue, we conducted a formal test of seven polygenic prediction...
