Abstract excerpt
The genetic liability to a complex phenotype can be assessed using polygenic risk scores (PRSs) and is calculated as the sum of genotypes weighted by effect-size estimates derived from summary statistics of genome-wide association study (GWAS) data. Due to different allele frequencies (AFs) and linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns across populations, PRSs developed in one population drop drastically in predictive...
