- Poor reporting complicates the use of specific studies for research and clinical purposes.
- The guidelines are intended for a broad audience including researchers and journal editors.
Takeaway
This study created a list of important things to include when reporting genetic risk studies, so that everyone can understand and use the information better.
Methodology
A multidisciplinary workshop developed a checklist of 25 items for reporting genetic risk prediction studies.
Potential Biases
The study highlights that genetic risk prediction research often suffers from poor design and bias.
Limitations
The guidelines do not prescribe how studies should be designed or conducted.
