Abstract excerpt
The clinical utility of polygenic scores (PGSs) is known to vary when training and test samples differ in ancestry, with recent work suggesting that sociodemographic differences can also impact PGS performance. However, the impact of belonging to multiple intersecting contexts on genetic risk remains understudied. We analyzed lifetime disease odds ratio (OR) and absolute risk (AR) estimates in high-PGS...
