AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The high heritability of type 1 diabetes has enabled the development of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) as disease risk screening tools. PRSs can identify individuals at the highest genetic risk in a population, who can benefit from autoantibody and metabolic surveillance, to avoid ketoacidosis at diagnosis and to access preventive therapies. However, PRSs for type 1 diabetes developed from European...
