Validating Orchid’s Endometriosis Genetic Risk Score

Written by Orchid Bioinformatics Staff

‍

Orchid's clinical reports include a genetic risk score (GRS) for endometriosis, 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 endometriosis GRS is available to individuals of European and Central South Asian ancestry. Availability for an individual may vary due to admixture.
