The predictive capacity of polygenic risk scores for disease risk is only moderately influenced by imputation panels tailored to the target population
2023-08-29
Abstract excerpt
Polygenic risk scores (PRS) predict individuals’ genetic risk of developing complex diseases. They summarize the effect of many genetic variants discovered in genome-wide association studies (GWASs). However, to date, large GWASs exist primarily for the European population and the quality of PRS prediction declines when applied to target sets of other ethnicities. A key step in using a PRS is imputation, which is...
