Score Details

Score Construction
PGS Name GRS_286_TG
Development Method
Name PRSice
Parameters For GRS construction, SNPs from MVP serum lipid summary statistics were clumped based on their linka... ge disequilibrium. We clumped SNPs at different r2 thresholds, and a 500kb clumping window with r2 of 0.5 proved to be the best fitting and best performing model for all lipid traits. We also tested the best P-value threshold for selecting which clumped SNPs we would include in the final GRS for the range of 1 to 5E-08. The P-value threshold, which accounted for the highest proportion of the variance of the trait R2, was selected as the best GRS.Show more

Performance Metrics

Disclaimer: The performance metrics are displayed as reported by the source studies. It is important to note that metrics are not necessarily comparable with each other. For example, metrics depend on the sample characteristics (described by the PGS Catalog Sample Set [PSS] ID), phenotyping, and statistical modelling. Please refer to the source publication for additional guidance on performance.
