Abbreviations: PRS (polygenic risk score), STC (subsequent thyroid cancer), RT (radiotherapy), RR (relative rate), and SJLIFE (St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study).
Adjusted for attained age modeled by restricted cubic splines.
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.
