Exposure accumulation drives age-dependent disease architectures and polygenic risk scores
2025-09-02
Abstract excerpt
Our understanding of the dependence of the genetic and environmental architecture of common diseases on age is incomplete. Here, we use longitudinal data to separate age-dependent genetic and environmental variance across complex traits and diseases. When applying our approach to 16 UK Biobank quantitative traits (average N=180K), we found environmental variance accumulates with age, leading to decreasing heritabi...
