📣 Excited to share our new tutorial with @training.ebi.embl.org ! The course covers the basics of polygenic scores and describes the PGS Catalog resources (buff.ly/L8e6a3J, including pgsc_calc), a great overview of the area. Access the course online at buff.ly/CEBWMio!

👀🔖 Thank you for this compilation @shaicarmi.bsky.social - the @prsdiversity.bsky.social consortium reviewed several PRS methods for diverse populations in this @naturerevgenet.bsky.social 2023 commentary led by @lindakachuri.bsky.social and Tian Ge, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37620596/

Work by PhD student @jayatirsharma.bsky.social on how grouping Hispanic/Latino participants into a single group can obfuscate substantial substructure, leading to false conclusions. We show how heterogeneity by background group wrt genetic ancestry and environment can affect genetic risk models.

New preprint! Within the HCHS/SOL study, we looked at the roles of self-identified background and genetic ancestry in describing GxE interactions of a PGS and sociocultural variables in a Hispanic/Latino population. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
