Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Monogenic diabetes is caused by rare mutations in genes usually implicated in beta cell biology. Common variants of monogenic diabetes genes (MDG) may jointly influence the risk of young-onset type 2 diabetes (YOD, diagnosed before the age of 40 years) and cardiovascular and kidney events. METHODS: Using whole-exome sequencing data, we constructed a weighted polygenic risk score (wPRS) consisting...
