Human Demographic History Impacts Genetic Risk Prediction across Diverse Populations

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that scores inferred from European GWASs are biased by genetic drift in other populations even when choosing the same causal variants and that biases in any direction are possible and unpredictable.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The value of diverse, multi-ethnic participants in large-scale genomic studies is demonstrated and evidence of effect-size heterogeneity across ancestries for published GWAS associations, substantial benefits for fine-mapping using diverse cohorts and insights into clinical implications are shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improving reporting standards for polygenic scores in risk prediction studies

TL;DR: The Polygenic Risk Score Reporting Standards (PRS-RS) as discussed by the authors is a comprehensive reporting framework that defines the minimal information that is needed to interpret and evaluate PRSs, especially with respect to downstream clinical applications.
