By analyzing millions of small genetic differences across a person's genome, researchers can calculate a polygenic risk score to estimate someone's lifetime odds of developing a certain disease. Over the past decade, scientists have developed these risk scores for dozens of diseases, including heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, and . . .
