Breast MRIs are advised in women with >20% lifetime risk of breast cancer. A new study showed that breast cancer risks in BRCA1, BRCA2 and PALB2 carriers remained higher than 20%, regardless of whether polygenic risk scores (PRS) were done, suggesting this is of limited help in refining screening. In contrast, PRS downgraded breast cancer …

A recent study found use of a polygenic risk score (PRS) modified the estimated riskof breast cancer among both carriers and non-carriers of inherited breast cancerpredisposition genes. Taking PRS into account, more than 95% of BRCA1, BRCA2,and PALB2 carriers had greater than 20% lifetime risks of breast cancer. In contrast,among ATM and CHEK2 carriers without …

Estimating Polygenetic Risk Scores in non-Europeans through extrapolating from data in European descent populations is not accurate! Diversity in genomic studies is critically needed for both equity and scientific discovery.

Polygenic Risk Scores and Colon Cancer
A recent study focused on how polygenic risk scores (PRS) may be related to colorectal cancers. Of note, PRS are calculated using genetic differences throughout someone’s DNA, in combination with their clinical and family history of cancer. PRS, alongside environmental and lifestyle risk factors, may help to identify people who may benefit from screening at …

A Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) is calculated using genetic differences throughout someone’s DNA, in combination with clinical and family history of cancer. This score, alongside environmental and lifestyle risk factors, may help to identify people who might benefit from screening at an earlier age.

A Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) is calculated using genetic differences throughout someone’s DNA, in combination with clinical and family history of cancer. This unique type of score may be utilized to calculate the lifetime risk of breast cancer. Important facts about PRS’s: Different from BRCA1/2 testing, which look for changes in these specific genes Should …
