SSGAC Polygenic Index (PGI) Repository

Note: This researcher contribution consists of a SAS file (.sas7bdat), a text file (.txt), and related documentation. The data contain the polygenic index for phenotypes described in Becker et al. (2021), for European-ancestry HRS respondents who provided salivary DNA between 2006 and 2012. Additional methodology is available in the documentation.

Contributed projects based on HRS public data are provided by researchers who want to share their work with the research community. Researchers interested in contributing their own products are invited to contact us at hrsquestions@umich.edu. HRS does not produce or support these products and is not responsible for their content or use. They are provided here as a service to the research community.
