Table 2.

Reproduced from Schumacher et al. Estimation of PrCa risk by PRS using 147 risk SNPs. Men categorised into PRS percentiles based on the cumulative score distributed among controls

Risk category percentile Relative risk 95% CI
 < 1 0.15 0.11–0.2
1–10 0.35 0.32–0.37
10–25 0.54 0.51–0.57
25–75 1 (Baseline)
75–90 1.74 1.67–1.82
90–99 2.69 2.55–2.82
 ≥ 99 5.71 5.04–6.48

Men in with a PRS in the highest percentile of risk (≥ 99%) have a RR of 5.71 compared to controls [59]
