BACKGROUND: Multimorbidity, also known as multiple long-term conditions, is a major public health concern. Internalising and CardioMetabolic MultiMorbidity (ICM-MM) is a common form of mental-physical health multimorbidity, yet its genetic predisposition is largely unknown. We examined the polygenic nature of ICM-MM by assessing single trait-specific polygenic risk scores (PRSTRAIT) and whether combining them...
