How is the odds ratio of disease risk conferred by a 1-standard deviation increase in PRS calculated?
One standard deviation from the mean is commonly used to calculate a polygenic risk score for GWAS, e.g. human genetic disease.
Why is this a common metric, for example why not 2-SD or 1.96 SD as in ...
