Polygenic risk scores in human genetics for study design discovery and translation

This review outlines four major PRS-informed design strategies: tail sampling based on PRS extremes; discordance sampling based on mismatch between phenotype and PRS-implied risk; conditional and stratified genome-wide association analyses using PRS to adjust for / partition background risk; and residual phenotype anal...

Assessing the Reliability of LLM-Generated Phenotype-Genotype Associations Through External Validation

Background Phenotype-genotype associations underpin precision medicine by enabling disease prevention, early diagnosis, risk stratification, therapeutic target discovery, and personalized treatment. However, the rapid growth of scientific evidence has made manual curation of these associations increasingly labor-intens...

Evaluation of functional annotation-informed and ancestry-specific polygenic risk scores for ischemic stroke

Functional annotation-informed PRSs and expanded reference panels modestly improved prediction, particularly among EA participants, and limited performance among AA participants underscores the need for larger, more diverse genomic datasets and integrative models incorporating genetic, clinical, lifestyle, and social d...

nf-rare-var-assoc: a comprehensive genetic association pipeline with rich QC

Genetic association analyses of exome sequencing data pose distinct methodological challenges in small cohorts, which are common in rare disease research. Data filtering prior to association testing requires particular care, especially when analyzing datasets generated under different study designs. Most of current gen...
