More Information
Summary:There is provided a computer-implemented method of analysing genetic data comprising: receiving a polygenic risk score for a target phenotype or target phenotype combination for a target individual; receiving individual genetic data for the target individual, the individual genetic data informative about an ancestry of the target individual; determining an individual position in an ancestry space using the individual genetic data; and calculating a genetic contribution to a risk for the target individual for the target phenotype or target phenotype combination using the polygenic risk score and the individual position. A corresponding apparatus is also provided.
