Genome-wide polygenic scores for common diseases identify individuals with risk equivalent to monogenic mutations
A key public health need is to identify individuals at high risk for a given disease to enable
enhanced screening or preventive therapies. Because most common diseases have a …

Improved genetic prediction of complex traits from individual-level data or summary statistics
Most existing tools for constructing genetic prediction models begin with the assumption that
all genetic variants contribute equally towards the phenotype. However, this represents a …
