Genetic risk scores of disease and mortality capture differences in longevity, economic behavior, and insurance outcomes

2020-04-02

Abstract excerpt

Widespread genetic testing for diseases may cause adverse selection, escalating premiums, or discrimination in various insurance markets. Here, without systematically informing study participants of their genetic predisposition, we estimate to what extent genetic data are informative about differences in longevity, health expectations, and economic behavior. We compute measures of genetic liability (polygenic scor...
