Google Research has explored transfer learning techniques to improve genomic prediction accuracy in underrepresented populations. Their study found that while transferring knowledge from large European cohorts can enhance prediction in smaller non-European groups, this benefit diminishes as the target population size increases, particularly for traits with unique genetic architectures. The research evaluated polygenic risk scores (PRSs) using datasets like the UK Biobank and Biobank Japan, aiming to provide guidelines for optimizing predictive performance across different populations.
