What makes a good life: using theatrical performance to enhance communication about polygenic risk scores research in patient and public involvement

Discussions with both performers and patients/public raised three key questio ns: (1) can the data be trusted?; (2) does knowing genetic risk actually help the patient?; and (3) what makes a life worthwhile?
