The Practical Utility of Genetic Screening in School Settings

2021-01-29

Abstract excerpt

<p>Can genetic screening be used to personalize education for students? Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) screen an individual’s DNA for specific variations in their genome, and how said variations relate to specific traits. The variations can then be assigned a corresponding weight, and summed to produce polygenic scores (PGS) for given traits. Though first developed for disease risk1, PGS are now used to pr...
