Quantifying factors that affect polygenic risk score performance across diverse ancestries and age groups for body mass index
2022-05-28
Abstract excerpt
Polygenic risk scores (PRS) have led to enthusiasm for precision medicine. However, it is well documented that PRS do not generalize across groups differing in ancestry or sample characteristics e.g., age.
