  2. Type 2 diabetes polygenic score is associated with type 2 diabetes in humans (OR 2.39, 95% CI 2.19-2.61).

    “Per standard deviation, the PGS was significantly associated with baseline (odds ratio: 2.39 [95% CI: 2.19-2.61])”

1 study
  1. Type 2 diabetes polygenic score is associated with type 2 diabetes prevalence in humans (Comparison of top and bottom deciles of genetic susceptibility over time) (Prevalence increased 9.1 percentage points (95% CI 8.0–10.1) in the top decile versus 0.4 percentage points (0.1–0.7) in the bottom decile).
