Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) exhibits sex differences in genetic risk, yet most genetic studies treat sex as a covariate rather than a modifier of risk. We hypothesized that sex-stratified genome-wide association studies (GWAS) would uncover sex-specific genetic architecture and improve risk prediction. METHODS: We performed GWAS in 6,599 T1D cases (3,483 males, 3,109 females, 7 undetermined) and 12,350 controls...
