Risk factors affecting polygenic score performance across diverse cohorts by Daniel Hui, Scott Dudek, Krzysztof Kiryluk, Theresa L Walunas, Iftikhar J Kullo, Wei-Qi Wei, Hemant Tiwari, Josh F Peterson, Wendy K Chung, Brittney H Davis, Atlas Khan, Leah C Kottyan, Nita A Limdi, Qiping Feng, Megan J Puckelwartz, Chunhua Weng, Johanna L Smith, Elizabeth W Karlson, Regeneron Genetics Center, Penn Medicine BioBank, Gail P Jarvik, Marylyn D Ritchie

“…Twenty-eight covariates had significant PGSBMI–covariate interaction effects, modifying PGSBMI effects by nearly 20% per standard deviation change. We observed overlap between covariates that had significant R2 differences among strata and interaction effects – across all covariates, their main effects on BMI were correlated with their maximum R2 differences and interaction effects (0.56 and 0.58, respectively), suggesting high-PGSBMI individuals have highest R2 and increase in PGS effect. …”
