polygenic scores
Polygenic scores refer to numerical values that summarize the combined effects of multiple genes on a particular trait or characteristic of an individual. They are calculated by analyzing the genetic variants across several genes and assigning a score that predicts the likelihood of a person having a specific trait or disease based on their genetic makeup.
