PRS_quantitative {GxEprs}

PRS_quantitative function This function uses plink2 and outputs Polygenic Risk Scores (PRSs) of all the individuals, using pre-generated GWAS and/or GWEIS summary statistics. Note that the input used in this function can be generated by using GWAS_quantitative and/or GWEIS_quantitative functions. Users may save the output in a user-specified file (see examples).

Description

PRS_quantitative function This function uses plink2 and outputs Polygenic Risk Scores (PRSs) of all the individuals, using pre-generated GWAS and/or GWEIS summary statistics.

Usage

PRS_quantitative(plink_path, b_file, summary_input)

Arguments

plink_path

Path to the PLINK executable application

b_file

Prefix of the binary files, where all .fam, .bed and .bim files have a common prefix

summary_input

Pre-generated GWAS and/or GWEIS summary statistics

Value

This function will output

prs.sscore

PRSs for each individual
