Polygenic Risk Scores Developed by Allelica

We improved the predictive power of several PRS for complex diseases using the Discover module in our SaaS pipeline.

Our new scores were developed using the clinical datasets from across the world and show comparisons with leading scores from the PGS Catalogue applied to the same dataset.

To generate these comparisons we:

image

Collated datasets of relevant genome-wide association statistics for each disease

image

Used Discover to assess 10 top PRS algorithms to find the best performing score on clinical data from multiple ancestries

image

Validated the best scores on an independent set of individuals from multiple datasets

image

Based performance stats on a model including genotyping array PCs 1-4 and using age and sex as covariates where relevant

image

Generated a set of performance statistics for both Allelica's PRS and a comparative PGS Catalog PRS for the same disease
