Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Polygenic scores (PGSs) have shown promise in predicting disease risk, but their predictive accuracy remains limited for many complex diseases. Leveraging the shared genetic architecture among correlated traits may improve prediction performance. METHODS: We developed a flexible framework for constructing multitrait PGSs by integrating candidate PGSs (N = 2651) derived from 51 genome-wide association...
