Tutorial: a guide to performing polygenic risk score analyses
A polygenic score (PGS) or polygenic risk score (PRS) is an estimate of an individual's
genetic liability to a trait or disease, calculated according to their genotype profile and …

All for one and one for all: Mental disorders in one dimension
In both child and adult psychiatry, empirical evidence has now accrued to suggest that a
single dimension is able to measure a person's liability to mental disorder, comorbidity …
