To facilitate scientific collaboration on polygenic risk scores (PRSs) research, we created an extensive PRS online repository for 35 common cancer traits integrating freely available genome-wide association studies (GWASs) summary statistics from three sources: published GWASs, the NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog, and UK Biobank-based GWASs. Our framework condenses these summary statistics into PRSs using various approaches such as linkage disequilibrium pruning/p value thresholding (fixed or data-adaptively optimized thresholds) and penalized, genome-wide effect size weighting. We evaluated the PRSs in two biobanks: the Michigan Genomics Initiative (MGI), a longitudinal biorepository effort at Michigan Medicine, and the population-based UK Biobank (UKB). For each PRS construct, we provide measures on predictive performance and discrimination. Besides PRS evaluation, the Cancer-PRSweb platform features construct downloads and phenome-wide PRS association study results (PRS-PheWAS) for predictive PRSs. We expect this integrated platform to accelerate PRS-related cancer research.
为了促进多基因风险评分(PRS)研究的科学合作,我们创建了一个广泛的 PRS 在线存储库,用于整合来自三个来源的 35 种常见癌症特征的自由可用全基因组关联研究(GWAS)汇总统计信息:已发表的 GWAS、NHGRI-EBI GWAS 目录和基于 UK Biobank 的 GWAS。我们的框架使用各种方法(例如连锁不平衡修剪/ p 值阈值(固定或数据自适应优化阈值)和惩罚、全基因组效应大小加权)将这些汇总统计信息压缩为 PRS。我们在两个生物库中评估了 PRS:密歇根基因组倡议(MGI),这是密歇根医学院的一项纵向生物库工作,以及基于人群的英国生物库(UKB)。对于每个 PRS 构建,我们提供了预测性能和区分度的度量。除了 PRS 评估外,Cancer-PRSweb 平台还具有构建下载和表型全基因组 PRS 关联研究结果(PRS-PheWAS),用于预测 PRS。我们期望这个集成平台能够加速与 PRS 相关的癌症研究。
