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.

Can education be personalised using pupils’ genetic data?
The increasing predictive power of polygenic scores for education has led to their promotion by some as a potential tool for genetically informed policy. How accurately polygenic scores predict an individual pupil's educational performance conditional on

PRSice: Polygenic Risk Score software [PDF]
Abstract Summary: A polygenic risk score (PRS) is a sum of trait-associated alleles across many genetic loci, typically weighted by effect sizes estimated from a genome-wide association study. The application of PRS has grown in recent years as their utility for detecting shared genetic aetiology among traits has become appreciated; PRS ...

Polygenic transcriptome risk scores (PTRS) can improve portability of polygenic risk scores across ancestries [PDF]
Abstract Background Polygenic risk scores (PRS) are valuable 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 leading to poor performance in populations of non-European ancestry.

A polygenic score for acute vaso-occlusive pain in pediatric sickle cell disease.
Individuals with monogenic disorders can experience variable phenotypes that are influenced by genetic variation. To investigate this in sickle cell disease (SCD), we performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 722 individuals with hemoglobin HbSS or ...

Genome-wide association studies of the self-rating of effects of ethanol (SRE). [PDF]
The level of response (LR) to alcohol as measured with the Self-Report of the Effects of Alcohol Retrospective Questionnaire (SRE) evaluates the number of standard drinks usually required for up to four effects. The need for a higher number of drinks for

Multi-PGS enhances polygenic prediction by combining 937 polygenic scores [PDF]
AbstractThe predictive performance of polygenic scores (PGS) is largely dependent on the number of samples available to train the PGS. Increasing the sample size for a specific phenotype is expensive and takes time, but this sample size can be effectively increased by using genetically correlated phenotypes. We propose a framework to generate multi-PGS

NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma: The growing challenge
Risk and protective factors for NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cause of cancer‐related mortality and morbidity worldwide. With the obesity pandemic, NAFLD‐related HCC is contributing to the burden of disease exponentially.
