More recently, Smith et al. (biorxiv.org/content/10.1...) proposed an estimator of polygenic score confounding that can be directly attributable to stratification/ancestry. They show that it is present in target data from Europe, other continents, even ancient DNA!

I find it hard to think of any application where it does not matter. It puts in further question the generalizability of the to samples/patients with different characteristics from the GWAS sample, since axes of confounding may differ.
