Genome-Wide Polygenic Risk Score Identifies Individuals at Elevated Parkinson’s Disease Risk
2020-10-20
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common and fastest-growing neurological disorder. Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) using hundreds to thousands of PD-associated variants support polygenic heritability. Here, for the first time, we apply a genome-wide polygenic risk score approach using 6.2 million variants to compute a PD genome-wide polygenic risk score (PD-GPRS) via the LDPred algorithm. P...
