"Short & Seq" Webinar Series: Polygenic Risk Score (PRS)

What is a Polygenic Risk Score (PRS)?
How does it work?
And why is it becoming a game-changer in personalized medicine?

In this video, AGRF’s genomics experts break down the science behind PRS—helping you understand how genetic variation across the genome can be used to predict an individual’s risk for developing complex diseases.

What you’ll learn in this video:
• What is PRS? – The fundamentals of polygenic risk scores
• How PRS works – The science and methodology behind the score
• Why PRS matters – Its role in predictive genomics and healthcare decision-making
• Key applications – From cardiovascular disease and diabetes to cancer and mental health
• Impact – How PRS is advancing preventive medicine and stratified healthcare
• Key features – What makes a PRS robust, reliable, and useful
• Diseases predicted – Learn which common and complex diseases PRS can assess
• Data generation – How genomic data is collected and curated
• Data processing – Transforming raw sequencing data into meaningful insights
• Analysis workflow – The steps from DNA sample to personalized risk prediction

Whether you're a clinician, researcher, or simply curious about the future of precision health, this video will help you better understand the growing impact of PRS and how AGRF supports this powerful tool through best-in-class genomic services.
