GeneSIS: enhancing transferability of polygenic scores with variant-level gene-by-sex interaction effects

Advancing precision medicine requires accurate prediction of disease liability across populations and contexts. A major challenge is the limited transferability of polygenic scores (PGS) across genetic ancestry groups. We present GeneSIS (GENE and Sex Interaction Score), a supervised statistical learning framework for jointly modeling additive and context-dependent genetic effects at…
