Appendix 1—table 2. The association between the multi-ancestry polygenic risk score (PRS) and prostate cancer aggressiveness in Million Veteran Program (MVP) participants from European, African, and Hispanic populations.

PRS categories were determined based on the distribution in controls in each replication study. ORs and 95% CIs were estimated from logistic regression models adjusting for age and principal components of ancestry. Heterogeneity was assessed via a Q statistic between effects estimates with corresponding tests of significance.
