Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Type 1 diabetes is characterised by the destruction of pancreatic beta cells. Genetic factors account for approximately 50% of the total risk, with variants in the HLA region contributing to half of this genetic risk. Research has historically focused on populations of European ancestry. We developed HLA-focused type 1 diabetes genetic risk scores (T1D GRSHLA) using SNPs or HLA alleles from four...
