Validation of a genome-wide polygenic score in improving fracture risk assessment beyond the FRAX tool in the Women’s Health Initiative study

BACKGROUND: Previous study has established two polygenic scores (PGSs) related to femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) (PGS_FNBMD(ldpred)) and total body BMD (PGS_TBBMD(ldpred)) that are associated with fracture risk. However, these findings have not yet been externally validated in an independen...
