Ancestry representation in the first decade of polygenic scoring studies (2008–2017; N = 733 studies). a Cumulative numbers of studies by year are denoted by color. The stacked bar graph below the cumulative distribution plot shows proportional ancestry by year. b Stacked bar charts depict world ancestry representation (left) and polygenic scoring study representation (right). c The percentage representation for each ancestry group is given, such that 100% would indicate equal representation in the world and in polygenic scoring studies. For example, European ancestry samples are over-represented (460%) whereas African ancestry samples are under-represented (17%)
