Cascade screening following a polygenic risk score test: what is the risk of a relative conditional on a high score of a proband?
2021-04-12
Abstract excerpt
Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for predicting disease risk have become increasingly accurate, leading to rising popularity of PRS tests. Consider an individual whose PRS test has placed him/her at the top q -quantile of genetic risk. Recently, Reid et al.
