Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) are a method to summarize the additive trait variance captured by genetic variants, and can increase the power of set-based analyses by leveraging public genome-wide association studies. This project developed a novel methodology, POLARIS, which extends upon PRS whilst adjusting for linkage disequilibrium between genetic variants.
