PGS-TRI is for the analysis of polygenic scores (PGS) or polygenic risk scores (PRS) in case-parent trio studies for estimation of the risk of an index condition associated with direct effects of inherited PGS, indirect effects of parental PGS, and gene-environment interactions under a unified log-linear modeling framework. This tool can characterize genetic risks of diseases in the presence of population structure, assortative mating, and indirect genetic effects.

Installation

The package can be easily installed from Github

library(devtools)
install_github("ziqiaow/PGS.TRI")

If you only want to use specific functions, you can also do this

rm(list = ls())
require(devtools)
source_url("https://github.com/ziqiaow/PGS.TRI/blob/main/R/PGS-TRI.R?raw=TRUE")
source_url("https://github.com/ziqiaow/PGS.TRI/blob/main/R/simulation.R?raw=TRUE")

#If directly downloaded the R files from Github to your local directory 
source("./R/PGS-TRI.R")
source("./R/simulation.R")

This software will be constantly updated, so please send your questions/suggestions to to help improve the package.
