Low and differential polygenic score generalizability among African populations due largely to genetic diversity

Summary: African populations are vastly underrepresented in genetic studies but have the most genetic variation and face wide-ranging environmental exposures globally. Because systematic evaluations of genetic prediction had not yet been conducted in ancestries that span African diversity, we calcul...
