The science behind PRS

Discover how genetics is revolutionizing personalized medicine and improving patients' lives

What are PRS?

Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) are like a personalized score that summarizes how your genes influence the risk of developing certain diseases.

This is how the PRS work

Make data-driven decisions and anticipate potential risks

We identify genetic variants that may influence health

Based on large-scale genetic studies (GWAS), the variants associated with specific diseases are selected.

We assign a weight to each variant based on its importance in the risk.

We add the weighted values to generate a unique score.

The weighted variants are combined into a score that represents the polygenic risk.

How are the results interpreted?

PRS analyzes small differences in DNA (genetic variants) and adds their impact to generate a personalized score. This score compares the predisposition to certain diseases with that of the general population, helping to identify relative risks and make preventive decisions.

This allows to identify those who could benefit from specific interventions and to compare their score with the general population to better understand their relative risk.
