African populations are vastly underrepresented in genetic studies but have the most genetic variation and face wide-ranging environmental exposures globally. Because …
Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) developed from multi-ancestry genome-wide association studies (GWASs), PRS multi, hold promise for improving PRS accuracy and generalizability …

The majority of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) have been developed and optimized in individuals of European ancestry and may have limited generalizability across other …
As most existing genome-wide association studies (GWASs) were conducted in European- ancestry cohorts, and as the existing polygenic risk score (PRS) models have limited …
A historical tendency to use European ancestry samples hinders medical genetics research, including the use of polygenic scores, which are individual-level metrics of genetic risk. We …
The majority of polygenic risk scores (PRS)(also known as polygenic scores, genetic risk scores or polygenic indexes) have been generated and optimized in peoples of European …
The low portability of polygenic scores (PGSs) across global populations is a major concern that must be addressed before PGSs can be used for everyone in the clinic. Indeed …
Fields as diverse as human genetics and sociology are increasingly using polygenic scores based on genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for phenotypic prediction. However …
Polygenic scores (PGS) have been widely used to predict disease risk using variants identified from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). To date, most GWAS have been …
