Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary Paragraph</h4> Common human diseases are frequently polygenic in architecture, comprising a large number of risk alleles with small effects spread across the genome 1–3 . Polygenic scores (PGSs) aggregate these alleles into a metric which represents an individual’s genetic predisposition to a specific disease. PGSs have shown promise for early risk prediction 4–7 , and there is potential to use PGSs...
