    Glossary Polygenic Risk Score

    numerical estimate of genetic predisposition based on multiple variants

    A Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) is a numerical value that estimates an individual's genetic predisposition to a particular trait or disease, based on the cumulative effect of multiple genetic variants. By analyzing data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), researchers can calculate a PRS to predict the likelihood of conditions such as alopecia, heart disease, or diabetes, providing valuable insights for personalized medicine and preventive healthcare.
