Enhancing Polygenic Risk Prediction by Modeling Quantile-Specific Genetic Effects
2025-12-29
Abstract excerpt
Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) quantify an individual’s genetic susceptibility to complex traits and diseases. Conventional PRSs, which are based on linear models, perform poorly for phenotypes with skewed distributions or with genetic effects that vary across the distribution. We propose a quantile regression-based PRS (QPRS) that can capture quantile-specific genetic effects. While existing PRSs provide only a sin...
