Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Polygenic Risk Score
Obstructive sleep apnoea is when the upper airway repeatedly narrows or collapses during sleep, cutting breathing and disrupting sleep. Obesity is the strongest risk factor, and male sex and older age also raise risk.
A risk score adds up many common variants, each with a small effect, into an estimate of genetic predisposition. It is not a diagnosis.

Limitations
- A polygenic score does not measure body weight, which is the strongest risk factor for this condition.
