News Release
Research studies are now using polygenic risk scores to determine a person’s inherited risk for certain diseases, but there are inconsistencies in how these scores are calculated. NHGRI has published guidelines in Nature for how these scores should be reported.
… working group in 2011. GRIPS placed an emphasis on models that included a smaller set of genomic variants and gene scores. However, genetic risk prediction models have evolved rapidly since then, and are based on a …
