Abstract:
Over 75 genetic loci within and outside of the HLA region influence type 1 diabetes risk. Genetic risk scores (GRS), which facilitate the integration of complex genetic information, have been developed in type 1 diabetes and incorporated into models and algorithms for classification, prognosis, and prediction of disease and response to preventive and therapeutic interventions. However, the development and validation of GRS across different ancestries is still emerging, as is knowledge on type 1 diabetes genetics in populations of diverse genetic ancestries. In this Review, we provide a summary of the current evidence on the evolutionary genetic variation in type 1 diabetes and the racial and ethnic differences in type 1 diabetes epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and preclinical course. We also discuss the influence of genetics on type 1 diabetes with differences across ancestries and the development and validation of GRS in various populations.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...

Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...
