“…On the other hand, LDpred2 employed the Bayesian method to estimate the effects of genetic variants on a specific trait and considered the LD information between genetic variants [53]. We followed previous studies [54] in constructing PGS models from C+T and LDpred2, with the following modifications. For the C+T, we used p-values thresholds of: 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 0.05, 0.01, 0.005, 1e-3, 5e-4, 1e-4, 5e-5, 1e-5, 5e-6, 1e-6, 5e-7, 1e-7, 5e-8; r2 values (based on the LD reference sample of 500 individuals) of: 0.2, 0.1, 0.01, 0.005, and distance in kilobases (kb) window sizes: 250, 500.…”
