Applying Polygenic Scores to Study Genetic Correlates of Health, Behavior, and Environment

Wednesday, January 24, 2024
Time: 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. (EDT)

Presenter: Colter Mitchell

Description

This webinar will update the use of polygenic scores in the CVFS. This includes novel techniques for generating multi-ethnic polygenic scores, the use of traditional scores in novel populations, using polygenic scores to examine gene-environment correlation, and finally the applications of family models (trios, parent-child, and sibling models) to better estimate genetic effects. There will be a Q&A session after the presentation.
