Summary
Lambert et al. present the Polygenic Score Catalog, an open-access resource designed to standardise and improve reproducibility in polygenic risk score research. The catalogue curates published polygenic scores with detailed metadata, enabling researchers to evaluate score performance systematically across populations and to identify methodological best practices. This infrastructure resource supports the transparent and equitable application of polygenic approaches in genetics research and clinical contexts.
UK applicability
As a methodological infrastructure resource with international scope, the catalogue is directly applicable to UK genetic research and clinical implementation. UK researchers and NHS services conducting polygenic risk assessment or developing personalised health interventions can use the standardised framework to evaluate score quality and ensure reproducibility.
Key measures
Polygenic score characteristics, study populations, methodological parameters, score validity and reproducibility metrics
Outcomes reported
The study describes the development and curation of an open-access database cataloguing polygenic scores used in genetic research. The catalogue enables systematic evaluation and reproducibility of polygenic risk score methodologies across diverse populations and phenotypes.
