Abstract excerpt
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that often presents in childhood and can lead to life-threatening complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis. Genetic risk scores (GRSs) offer an innovative approach to early identification of T1D risk, but their integration into newborn screening (NBS) has not been implemented at scale in the United States. We evaluated the feasibility of using whole-genome...
