Congratulations to @Yunfeng_Ruan on DiscoDivas now out in pre-print, - great to see cross-pollination between @PRSdiversity investigators and sites in their methods development 🎉
Our approach builds on the linear decay model observed by Yi Ding @yi_ding_ , Bogdan Pasaniuc @bpasaniuc et al, showing PRS accuracy declines linearly with genetic distance. Thank you for your foundational work! 3/
