Quantifying portable genetic effects and improving cross-ancestry genetic prediction with GWAS summary statistics
Polygenic risk scores are used to improve risk prediction for common diseases but typically have reduced accuracy for individuals of non-European ancestry. Here, the authors present an approach that improves polygenic risk score performance in ancestrally diverse populations.
