Score Details

Score Construction
PGS Name MultiPRS_myocardial-infarction
Development Method
Name LASSO (L1-penalised logistic regression)
Parameters LASSO combination of the 49 individual latent-phenotype PRS (scikit-learn LogisticRegressionCV, L1 penalty, saga solver, stratified 5-fold CV). The scoring file contains the collapsed per-variant weights of the genetic (PRS) component only; model covariates (age, sex, body surface area, 20 genetic PCs) are applied separately and are NOT part of the scoring file.
Variants

Number of Variants 1,105,535

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.
