Genetic and modifiable risk factors combine multiplicatively in common disease.

To better understand the principle mechanisms underlying the combinatorial effects of these and other risk factors with the genetic components, we simplified our analysis in that we focused on the bare number of highly significant risk alleles, albeit a genetic score built on millions of variants might be more precise in giving weight to the genetic risk conferred by each percentile of a GRS [ 7 , 18 ].
