This study evaluates polygenic risk score methods across diverse biobanks and ancestries, finding that European reference panels often yield better performance, while PRS-CS outperforms P+T for high-heritability traits.

This paper shows that meta-analysis fine-mapping is often miscalibrated due to cohort heterogeneity and introduces a QC method to identify suspicious loci.

Meta-analysis of harmonized GWAS from up to 18 biobanks (six ancestry groups) across 14 endpoints replicated 320 known loci and identified 188 apparently novel loci.

The paper evaluates family history and polygenic scores as predictors for coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes using the Trondelag Health Study and UK Biobank.
