I am using PRSice software for Polygenic risk score calculation of complex diseases like Type 2 Diabetes, Coronary artery disease. Input files required for analysis are Base file (example: TOY_BASE_GWAS.assoc ) and target file (binary files from plink for your target data). I am able to create target files using plink plug in from genome studio .,but Don't know how to create gwas association file for my phenotype like Type 2 Diabetes

You'll have to search the highest powered GWAS of T2D and download the association results. That's the base file on which you are going to build the predictive model. -
Thank you. I have downloaded association results from GWAS. The file has all required columns except effect size estimates, is there is any way to calculate it ? or is PRSice can run without effect size info in base file.
{PRSice requires the base file to contain information of the effective allele (--A1), effect size estimates (--stat)}Comment

Does it not have a Beta? If you have a z-score and p-value you can compute a beta from them using inverse probability transformation. You can read up on this online and get a formula to do so.Comment

It does have a Beta/OR value for each SNP. Can this value be used instead of effect size?Comment

Beta is the effect size.Comment

The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
