Neuroticism Polygenic Score
Neuroticism is a personality trait describing how strongly someone tends to experience negative emotions like worry, guilt or irritability.
A risk score adds up many common variants, each with a small effect, into an estimate of genetic predisposition. It is not a diagnosis.
