Polygenic risk score, parental socioeconomic status, family history of psychiatric disorders, and the risk for schizophrenia: a Danish population-based study and meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
IMPORTANCE Schizophrenia has a complex etiology influenced both by genetic and nongenetic factors but disentangling these factors is difficult. OBJECTIVE To estimate (1) how strongly the risk for schizophrenia relates to the mutual effect of the ...

Polygenic risk score: use in migraine research

open access: yesThe Journal of Headache and Pain, 2018
Background The latest Genome-Wide Association Study identified 38 genetic variants associated with migraine. In this type of studies the significance level is very difficult to achieve (5 × 10− 8) due to multiple testing.

A multi-ethnic polygenic risk score is associated with hypertension prevalence and progression throughout adulthood

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Polygenic risk scores have potential to predict an individual’s risk of disease based on genetic markers. Here, the authors develop a polygenic risk score for hypertension and test it in a multi-ethnic cohort, finding that the score is associated with ...

Deep-coverage whole genome sequences and blood lipids among 16,324 individuals. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Large-scale deep-coverage whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is now feasible and offers potential advantages for locus discovery. We perform WGS in 16,324 participants from four ancestries at mean depth >29X and analyze genotypes with four quantitative ...

Polygenic risk scores in epilepsy

open access: yesMedizinische Genetik, 2022
Abstract An epilepsy diagnosis has large consequences for an individual but is often difficult to make in clinical practice. Novel biomarkers are thus greatly needed. Here, we give an overview of how thousands of common genetic factors that increase the risk for epilepsy can be summarized as epilepsy polygenic risk scores (PRS).

Polygenic risk scores

open access: yesSeminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism
Polygenic risk scores (PRS) estimate an individual's genetic risk for a disease or trait compared to a matched population. For many rheumatic diseases PRS have been developed that have discriminatory capacity better than some widely used biomarkers, and in some cases are the most discriminatory tests available.

Bivariate causal mixture model quantifies polygenic overlap between complex traits beyond genetic correlation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Accumulating evidence from genome wide association studies (GWAS) suggests an abundance of shared genetic influences among complex human traits and disorders, such as mental disorders.

Polygenic transcriptome risk scores improve portability of polygenic risk scores across ancestries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
AbstractPolygenic risk scores (PRS) are on course to translate the results of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) into clinical practice. To date, most GWAS have been based on individuals of European-ancestry, meaning that the utility of PRS for non-European populations is limited because SNP effects and LD patterns may not be conserved across ...

Polygenic risk for schizophrenia and season of birth within the UK Biobank cohort [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: There is strong evidence that people born in winter and in spring have a small increased risk of schizophrenia. As this ‘season of birth’ effect underpins some of the most influential hypotheses concerning potentially modifiable risk ...

Polygenic Risk Scores Expand to Obesity [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2019
Obesity is one of the most serious health challenges of our time. In this issue of Cell, Khera and co-authors demonstrate the striking ability of genetics, in the form of a polygenic risk score, to identify those individuals at high risk for obesity.
