PRSs may be presumed to increase in predictive accuracy with the size of the discovery sample. We used the largest sample available at this time (MVP). Because AUD is a common disorder in the population [>29% lifetime prevalence (8)] and is only moderately heritable [approximately 55% (53)], we may expect that very large samples will be necessary to achieve optimal prediction (54).
