Polygenic Risk Score for Alzheimer’s Disease in Caribbean Hispanics.

Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) assess the individual genetic propensity to a condition by combining sparse information scattered across genetic loci, often displaying small effect sizes. Most PRSs are constructed in European-ancestry populations, limiting their use in other ethnicities. Here we constructed and validated a PRS for late-onset Alzheimer’s Disease (LOAD) in Caribbean Hispanics (CH).
