Abstract

Summary of the research findings

Enthusiasm for using polygenic risk scores (PRSs) in clinical practice is tempered by concerns about their portability to diverse ancestry groups, thus motivating genome-wide association studies in non-European ancestry cohorts.

1,014 Greater Middle Eastern (Middle Eastern, North African or Persian) cases, 6,009 Greater Middle Eastern (Middle Eastern, North African or Persian) controls
