Abstract excerpt
Polygenic scores (PGSs) stratify disease risk but often fail to capture individual variation. "Misaligned" individuals, whose observed phenotypes deviate from their genetically expected values based on PGS, provide a powerful model for identifying factors beyond common-variant effects, including additional genetic factors. Here, we apply misalignment classification and enrichment testing frameworks to seven...
