Abbreviations: PRS (polygenic risk score), STC (subsequent thyroid cancer), RT (radiotherapy), RR (relative rate), and SJLIFE (St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study).

a

Adjusted for attained age modeled by restricted cubic splines.

b

Standardized PRS was calculated as a weighted sum of the number of risk alleles carried by survivors and standardized by a mean of 0 and a SD of 1.
