Score Details

Score Construction
PGS Name G-PROB_Gout
Development Method
Name Pruning and Thresholding (P+T)
Parameters SNPs with genome-wide significance (p<5e-8) from Immunobase, and LD pruning (r^2>0.8), and HLA variants incorporated in a probabilistic model that take into account predefined (sex specific) disease prevalence, and assuming a patient has one of the 5 possible arthritic diseases. See papers for detailed calculation of Gprob, and OR/weight shrinkage.

Performance Metrics

Disclaimer: The performance metrics are displayed as reported by the source studies. It is important to note that metrics are not necessarily comparable with each other. For example, metrics depend on the sample characteristics (described by the PGS Catalog Sample Set [PSS] ID), phenotyping, and statistical modelling. Please refer to the source publication for additional guidance on performance.
