Linkage Disequilibrium Score Regression (LDSC) is a statistical method used in genetic epidemiology to estimate the heritability of complex traits and to assess the extent of genetic correlation between traits. The method leverages the concept of linkage disequilibrium (LD), which refers to the non-random association of alleles at different loci in a population.
