Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Polygenic risk score (PRS) has the ability to stratify inherited susceptibility to cancer and, as a complement to monogenic testing, can identify individuals at increased genetic risk even when no pathogenic variant is detected in high- or moderate-penetrance genes. It reflects the combined additive effects of a large number of low-penetrance variants across the genome, and represents a continuum of...
