Validating Orchid’s Class III Obesity Genetic Risk Score

Written by Orchid Bioinformatics Staff

‍

Orchid's clinical reports include a genetic risk score (GRS) for class III obesity, which has been validated on data from the UK Biobank. We present our findings from this validation study in the following white paper. We found that the GRS performed well, particularly for identifying individuals with elevated risk of the disease relative to the population. The class III obesity GRS is available to individuals of all ancestry groups.
