Integration of risk factor polygenic risk score with disease polygenic risk score for disease prediction.

ABSTRACT: Polygenic risk score (PRS) is useful for capturing an individual's genetic susceptibility. However, previous studies have not fully exploited the potential of the risk factor PRS (RFPRS) for disease prediction. We explored the potential of integrating disease-related RFPRSs with disease PRS to enhance disease prediction performance. We constructed 112 RFPRSs and analyzed the association of RFPRSs with diseases to identify disease-related RFPRSs in 700 diseases, using the UK Biobank dataset. We uncovered 6157 statistically significant associations between 247 diseases and 109 RFPRSs. We estimated the disease PRSs of 70 diseases that exhibited statistically significant heritability, to generate RFDiseasemetaPRS-a combined PRS integrating RFPRSs and disease PRS-and compare the prediction perf
