Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and cardiovascular disease share risk factors and subclinical atherosclerosis (SCA) predicts events in those with and without diabetes mellitus. T2D genetic risk may predict both T2D and SCA. We hypothesized that greater T2D genetic risk is associated with higher extent of SCA. METHODS AND RESULTS: In a cross-sectional analysis, including ≤9210 European Americans, 3773...
