Leveraging Diversity in Cancer Epidemiology Cohorts and Novel Methods to Improve Polygenic Risk Scores

Inadequate representation of diverse racial/ethnic populations in genetic studies is hindering the translational potential of polygenic risk scores (PRS) in cancer risk prediction. To address this shortcoming, we aim to construct and evaluate PRS for cancer and estimate the absolute risk of cancer explained by PRS and non-genetic factors across multiethnic populations.
