Recent research implies that instead of single variants of large effect, many variants of extremely small effect represent the majority of signal associated with genetic disease. We believe this work is an important step toward increasing the predictive power and interpretability of genetic risk score methods, and that the evolution of such score will help inform and direct research in genetic disease to the benefit of patients and clinicians. 000007590 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000007590 650__ $$aRare Diseases$$034662 000007590 650__ $$aHumans$$020376 000007590 650__ $$aGenome-Wide Association Study$$038168 000007590 650__ $$aInfant$$020774 000007590 650__ $$aMultifactorial Inheritance$$032399 000007590 650__ $$aRetinopathy of Prematurity$$025405 000007590 6531_ $$anewborn 000007590 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000007590 7001_ $$aSwan, Ryan 000007590 8564_ $$9fe260716-211e-462a-87d8-c8995685c2c3$$s10007845$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7590/files/swan.ryan.2019.pdf 000007590 901__ $$aCurrently embargoed 000007590 905__ $$a/rest/prod/nz/80/60/22/nz806022g 000007590 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7590$$pstudent-work 000007590 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
