From: A polygenic score for height identifies an unmeasured genetic predisposition among pediatric patients with idiopathic short stature

Fig. 4

Predicted heights based on the PGSheight are lower, compared to MPH-based heights, except for children with familial ISS. Violin plot comparing height predictions by method (MPH and PGSheight) for each subgroup based on short stature etiology. The PGSheight was converted to a predicted adult height by modeling height as a function of PGSheight and 10 principal components in BioVU adults. The median within-person difference in height predictions using the PGSheight and MPH is shown above each subgroup. Paired samples Wilcoxon signed rank tests were used to test the significance of within-person differences. ***: Wilcoxon p < 0.001
