Figure 3. polygenic risk score (PR)S-based biobank-wide association scan (BWAS) identifies risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
Meta-analysis p-values for 1738 heritable traits in the UK biobank are shown in the figure. p-values are truncated at 1e-15 for visualization purposes. The horizontal line marks the Bonferroni-corrected significance threshold (i.e. p=0.05/1738). Positive associations point upward, and negative associations point downward.
