This is an important step towards using genetic information to provide better healthcare for all... ensuring that the genetic assessment worked in many different groups of people.
Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) measure disease likelihood based on genetic makeup. Implementing PRSs in clinical care and interpreting results remains challenging.
Population-specific polygenic risk scores could introduce disparities. The study focused on optimizing risk assessments for diverse patient populations to address this challenge.
