Headaches and polygenic scores [PDF]
Polygenic risk scores are en vogue. This ubiquitous statistic quantifies disease liability for an individual by aggregating risk contributions from a large number of genetic variants into a single score. Recent publications have argued that risk models currently used in clinical settings for coronary artery disease can be improved by including ...

Evaluation of polygenic prediction methodology within a reference-standardized framework.
The predictive utility of polygenic scores is increasing, and many polygenic scoring methods are available, but it is unclear which method performs best.

Polygenic Scores for Height in Admixed Populations [PDF]
AbstractPolygenic risk scores (PRS) use the results of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to predict quantitative phenotypes or disease risk at an individual level, and provide a potential route to the use of genetic data in personalized medical care.

Calculating Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) in UK Biobank: A Practical Guide for Epidemiologists
A polygenic risk score estimates the genetic risk of an individual for some disease or trait, calculated by aggregating the effect of many common variants associated with the condition.

Polygenic scores and social science
Abstract It is a hotly contested issue whether polygenic scores should play a major role in the social sciences. Here, we defend a methodologically pluralist stance in which sociogenomics should abandon its hype and recognize that it suffers from all the methodological difficulties of the social sciences, yet nevertheless maintain an optimistic ...

Polygenic Risk Scores and Physical Activity [PDF]
ABSTRACT Purpose Polygenic risk scores (PRS) summarize genome-wide genotype data into a single variable that produces an individual-level risk score for genetic liability. PRS has been used for prediction of chronic diseases and some risk factors. As PRS has been studied less for physical activity (PA), we constructed

Using a Polygenic Score to Predict the Risk of Developing Primary Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis (OP) is a multifactorial bone disease belonging to the metabolic osteopathies group. Using the polygenic score (PGS) approach, we combined the effects of bone mineral density (BMD) DNA loci, affecting osteoporosis pathogenesis, based on ...

Copy number variants suggest different molecular pathways for the pathogenesis of bladder exstrophy
Abstract Bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital malformation leaving the urinary bladder open in the midline of the abdomen at birth. There is a clear genetic background with chromosome aberrations, but so far, no consistent findings apart from 22q11‐duplications detected in about 2%–3% of all patients.

Abstract Ubiquitous associations have been detected between different types of childhood psychopathology and polygenic risk scores based on adult psychiatric disorders and related adult outcomes, indicating that genetic factors partly explain the association between childhood psychopathology and adult outcomes. However, these analyses in general do not

Polygenic Risk Scores for Subtyping of Schizophrenia [PDF]
Schizophrenia is a complex disorder with many comorbid conditions. In this study, we used polygenic risk scores (PRSs) from schizophrenia and comorbid traits to explore consistent cluster structure in schizophrenia patients. With 10 comorbid traits, we found a stable 4-cluster structure in two datasets (MGS and SSCCS).
