PRS Governance · PRLS_t Calibration via Ancestry Clusters HIGHEST VALUE
IBD family clusters are by construction ancestry-homogeneous — naturally stratified anchors for PRLS_t calibration. A fully EUR-homogeneous cluster with high PRLS_t on PGS000138 provides empirical calibration not possible at individual level
Additive insight · Section 4.4 report · PO-PRS-001 partial Tc closure path
Highest Priority
GR_002 already admits PGS000138 (Wray et al. 2018). Depression PRS computed within GR_002 clusters demonstrates PRS propagation fields concept — immediate low-cost deliverable

GWAS Admissibility Governance HIGH VALUE
Standard approach: remove relatives, continue. DI approach: quantify GWAS inflation risk per cluster — completely different analytical capability
CAP 04 · Per-cluster inflation score
Novel
Marshfield anomalous IBD cluster (108/139 samples from family study) is a real example — quantifying its inflation contribution is a concrete DI-GWAS demonstration
Stanaway et al. 2019 · Marshfield family cluster
Demo Ready
Herpes zoster GWAS (λ ~1.02) and CAAD GWAS both use IBD pruning. DI can provide admissibility claims with per-cluster leakage accounting

PheWAS Phenotype Field Governance MEDIUM-HIGH
~1,800 ICD-9 PheWAS codes available. Depression + dementia phenotypes mapped to IBD family clusters is pre-analytic discovery of shared architecture without running TWAS/PWAS

GIRA Report Integration · eMERGE Phase IV STRATEGIC
eMERGE IV returns PRS for 11 conditions to 25,000 diverse individuals via GIRA report. DI-PRS PRLS_t provides admissibility framework for all 10 PRS returns
Linder et al. 2023 · Broad Institute pipeline · Cross-ancestry
DI-PRS
GIRA risk hierarchy: Monogenic > Polygenic > Family history. DI-GOG provenance chain maps cleanly to this three-tier admissibility structure — natural architectural alignment
GOG-RULE-003 · Composite decomposition completeness
DI-GOG
CRC PRS excluded from GIRA because it didn't validate in Hispanic or African ancestry. DI-PRS PRLS_t would have flagged this at the score admissibility gate before return
Demonstrates DI-PRS value for multi-ancestry return governance
Proof Point
Imputation R² Quality · DI-L3 Layer Governance MEDIUM
27 of 83 batches excluded (Rsq < 0.3). DI-GENOME L3 (Imputation R²) formalizes this as a subject-level quality dimension within each FamilyClusterObject — not a global filter
L3 layer · PRLS_t imputation quality component · Per-batch Rsq
L3 Layer
Batch Rsq is highly predictable: log(sample count) + log(variant count) explain ~80% of variance. DI can formalize this as a structural reliability predictor for GOL state assignments
Stanaway et al. 2019 · Batch size regression model
GOL
Mean Rsq > 0.9 for common variants (MAF > 0.05) but drops below 0.3 in 0.00001–0.0001 MAF bin. DI rare-variant admissibility (DGV_rare) maps directly to this distribution

Cross-Trait Admissibility · Depression → Dementia (GR_003) DESIGNED · DEFERRED
Xian et al. eMERGE GWAS: PheKB 1095 (depression) shows rg = 0.83 vs MDD2019. Novel HLA/MHC-II and IGHV adaptive immunity loci identified. IBD family clusters are natural hypothesis generation units for depression–dementia co-architecture
