Genetic Risk Scores for Cardiometabolic Traits in Sub-Saharan African Populations

2020-05-25

Abstract excerpt

There is growing support for the use of genetic risk scores (GRS) in routine clinical settings. Due to the limited diversity of current genomic discovery samples, there are concerns that the predictive power of GRS will be limited in non-European ancestry populations. Here, we evaluated the predictive utility of GRS for 12 cardiometabolic traits in sub-Saharan Africans (AF; n =5200), African Americans (AA; n =91...
