Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Using effect estimates from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), we identified a genetic risk score (GRS) that has the strongest association with type 2 diabetes (T2D) status in a population-based cohort and investigated its potential for prospective T2D risk assessment. METHODS: By varying the number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their respective weights, alternative versions of GRS...
