Factors that influence the transferability of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) between populations
Genetic factors, including differences in linkage disequilibrium patterns and minor allele frequencies and their interactions with environmental factors like urban versus rural living, differences in diet and exercise, and differences in age and gender may affect PRS transferability. Also, how the phenotype was measured may attenuate PRS transferability. Created with BioRender.com.
