Lay summary
In this project we will create 'polygenic indexes' for the ALSPAC participants. Polygenic indexes are summaries of a persons known genetic predisposition to a particular trait, such as height. We will create these indexes for up to 47 different traits, which can then be use by other researchers.
Public benefit statement
Wide use by other researchers in research projects.
