Type 2 diabetes (T2D) poses a significant global health burden. We developed a polygenic risk score (PRS) model based on genome-wide association study (GWAS) findings and integrated it with clinical data to predict T2D risk. This study analyzed electronic medical records from a major medical center in Taiwan, comprising 315,424 T2D cases and 141,484 controls. Fourteen genome-wide significant SNPs were identified and used to construct the T2D PRS. The integrated predictive model showed high accuracy (AUROC 0.842) and was validated in the Taiwan Biobank. A risk score ranging from 0 to 19 was established for clinical use. Phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) revealed links between PRSs and T2D-related complications, such as diabetic retinopathy and hypertension. Pathway analysis highlighted biological processes including IL-15 production and WNT/β-catenin signaling. Our findings support the use of PRSs in personalized T2D risk assessment and early prevention strategies.
2型糖尿病(T2D)给全球健康带来了重大负担。我们基于全基因组关联研究(GWAS)结果开发了一种多基因风险评分(PRS)模型,并将其与临床数据相结合以预测T2D风险。本研究分析了台湾一家大型医疗中心的电子病历,其中包括315424例T2D病例和141484例对照。识别出14个全基因组显著的单核苷酸多态性(SNP),并用于构建T2D的PRS。该综合预测模型显示出高准确性(曲线下面积为0.842),并在台湾生物银行中得到验证。建立了一个范围从0到19的风险评分供临床使用。全表型组关联研究(PheWAS)揭示了PRS与T2D相关并发症(如糖尿病视网膜病变和高血压)之间的联系。通路分析突出了包括白细胞介素-15产生和WNT/β-连环蛋白信号传导在内的生物学过程。我们的研究结果支持在个性化T2D风险评估和早期预防策略中使用PRS。
