Principles and methods for transferring polygenic risk scores across global populations
Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) summarize the genetic predisposition of a complex human trait
or disease and may become a valuable tool for advancing precision medicine. However …

Challenges and opportunities for developing more generalizable polygenic risk scores
Polygenic risk scores (PRS) estimate an individual's genetic likelihood of complex traits and
diseases by aggregating information across multiple genetic variants identified from genome …

Leveraging fine-mapping and multipopulation training data to improve cross-population polygenic risk scores
Polygenic risk scores suffer reduced accuracy in non-European populations, exacerbating
health disparities. We propose PolyPred, a method that improves cross-population …

Causal effects on complex traits are similar for common variants across segments of different continental ancestries within admixed individuals
Individuals of admixed ancestries (for example, African Americans) inherit a mosaic of
ancestry segments (local ancestry) originating from multiple continental ancestral …
