deCODE BP measurements and information about hypertension diagnoses were obtained from Landspitali-The National University Hospital of Iceland in Reykjavik, and the Primary Health Care Clinics of the Capital area, as well as at recruitment for deCODE studies, yielding BP measurements for 145 615 individuals with an average of 12 measurements per individual. A subset of 81 117 individuals with genotype information was used to calculate the PRSs

Performance Metrics

Disclaimer: The performance metrics are displayed as reported by the source studies. It is important to note that metrics are not necessarily comparable with each other. For example, metrics depend on the sample characteristics (described by the PGS Catalog Sample Set [PSS] ID), phenotyping, and statistical modelling. Please refer to the source publication for additional guidance on performance.
