EraSOR: a software tool to eliminate inflation caused by sample overlap in polygenic score analyses.

EraSOR could be useful in PRS studies (with target sample >1,000) similar to those investigated here, either (i) to mitigate the potential effects of known or unknown intercohort overlap and close relatedness or (ii) as a sensitivity tool to highlight the possible presence of sample overlap before its direct removal, when possible, or else to provide a lower bound on PRS analysis results after accounting for potential sample overlap.
