Dimensionality reduction reveals fine-scale structure in the Japanese population with consequences for polygenic risk prediction

Population structure, even subtle differences within seemingly homogenous populations, can have an impact on the accuracy of polygenic prediction. Here, Sakaue et al. use dimensionality reduction methods to reveal fine-scale structure in the Biobank Japan cohort and explore the performance of polyge...
