MIT’s iPGS: A New Inclusive Polygenic Scoring Model Revolutionizes Disease Risk Assessment for Diverse Populations
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) computer scientists developed iPGS, a model that gives accurate polygenic score calculations for the genetic makeup of individuals belonging to diverse ancestral backgrounds. Diversity in human beings can be attributed to the 0.1% of DNA that varies across individuals. It determines the phenotypes that would be expressed as well as…
