Principal Investigator: Professor Bruce Wolffenbuttel
Approved Research ID: 55494
Approval date: June 25th 2020

Lay summary

Can we create and optimize a risk score model derived from non-genetic factors including among others, biomarkers, lifestyle and dietary factors and how well would this correlate with actual outcomes for 40 measured traits and how does this compare to the standard currently used in doctor practices?

How much stronger do risk models including genetic risk correlate to outcomes, compared to models excluding genetic risk scores?
