Preimplantation genetic testing for type 2 diabetes based on family-specific polygenic risk score: A proof-of-concept study

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Proof-of-concept study

Authors' conclusion

Our study provided preliminary evidence for the feasibility of developing a more accurate polygenic risk prediction model using pedigree information and its application in embryo selection.

Family-specific polygenic T2D risk model: T2D risk SNPs, weighted by genotype-phenotype correlation in the pedigree

114

Newborn had the same lowest T2D polygenic risk and normal growth and development; follow-up (months)
