Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) aggregate the many small effects of alleles across the human genome to estimate the risk of a disease or disease-related trait for an individual. The potential benefits of PRSs include cost-effective enhancement of primary disease prevention, more refined diagnoses and improved precision when prescribing medicines. However, these must be weighed against the potential risks, such as uncertainties and biases in PRS performance, as well as potential misunderstanding and misuse of these within medical practice and in wider society. By addressing key issues including gaps in best practices, risk communication and regulatory frameworks, PRSs can be used responsibly to improve human health. Here, the International Common Disease Alliance’s PRS Task Force, a multidisciplinary group comprising expertise in genetics, law, ethics, behavioral science and more, highlights recent research to provide a comprehensive summary of the state of polygenic score research, as well as the needs and challenges as PRSs move closer to widespread use in the clinic.

在临床中负责任地使用多基因风险评分:潜在的好处、风险和差距

多基因风险评分 (PRS) 汇总了人类基因组中等位基因的许多微小影响,以估计个体患疾病或疾病相关性状的风险。PRS 的潜在好处包括具有成本效益的初级疾病预防增强、更精细的诊断和提高开药时的精确度。然而,必须权衡这些潜在风险,例如 PRS 绩效的不确定性和偏见,以及在医疗实践和更广泛的社会中对这些的潜在误解和误用。通过解决关键问题,包括最佳实践、风险沟通和监管框架方面的差距,PRS 可以负责任地用于改善人类健康。在这里,国际常见疾病联盟的 PRS 工作组是一个多学科小组,包括遗传学、法律、伦理学、
