they will be impossible to detect even with very large samples. Although each such variant makes only a very small contribution to the genetic variance, there may be so many that a sizeable proportion of the variance will go undetected. Even if only quarter of the genetic variance is detectable by our future genotyping technology, the AUC is still greater for the genomic profile than for family history (ignoring shared environmental risks of family members, Text S1).
