Generalisation of genomic findings and applications of polygenic risk scores

“…We expect advances reported in this collection to improve the current implementation at scale of PRS in both private and public health systems. Such research is expected to empower the next generation of genetic testing aiming to make use of PRS as an essential tool for reporting genetic risk [ 13 , 14 ]. We suggest that for PRS to be applied at scale, several important developments are needed to be advanced: (a) to further the collection of diverse data through biobanks, (b) the development of clinical trials making use of PRS and (c) the generation of public/private partnerships with commercial genetic testing companies.…”
