As technological advancements expand the accessibility
and availability of molecular genetic data, excitement over
the potential use of genetic risk scores also known as polygenic scores (PGS) or polygenic indices for disease prevention has grown. At the same time, however, the translation
of PGS into healthcare and social settings raises a host of
social, ethical, and clinically relevant questions.
