Generalizing polygenic risk scores from Europeans to Hispanics/Latinos

Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) are weighted sums of risk allele counts of single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with a disease or trait. PRSs are typically constructed based on published results from Genome‐Wide Association Studies (GWASs), and the majority of which has been performed in l...
