Combining genome-wide polygenic scores with registry data for colorectal cancer risk-based screening

Anne Krogh Nøhr, Marie Giehm Overby, Mads Munk Nielsen, Emil-August Torp, Rikke Hedegaard Jensen, Laurids Østergaard Poulsen, Ole Thorlacius‐Ussing, Simon Ladefoged Rasmussen, Berit Sanne Andersen, Ismail Gögenür, Erik Sørensen, Ole Birger Vesterager Pedersen, Christian Erikstrup, Nanna Brøns, Michael Schwinn, , Steffen UIlltz Thorsen

This study evaluates polygenic risk scores (PRS) for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, showing they stratify risk independently of ancestry and sex but offer limited additional predictive value when combined with FIT.
