Abstract excerpt
We have proposed PGS-TRI, a framework for analyzing polygenic scores (PGSs) in case-parent trio studies that estimate the risk of an index condition associated with direct PGS effects, gene-environment interactions and asymmetrical maternal and paternal indirect effects. Simulations confirm its robustness in the presence of complex population structure and assortative mating. Applied to multi-ancestry autism...
