Capturing additional genetic risk from family history for improved polygenic risk prediction
2022-01-07
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Family history of complex traits may reflect transmitted rare pathogenic variants, intra-familial shared exposures to environmental and lifestyle factors, as well as a common genetic predisposition. We developed a latent factor model to quantify trait heritability in excess of that captured by a common variant-based polygenic risk score, but inferable from family history. For 941 children in the...
