🚨 Proud to share that our paper on the genetic links between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and hypertension is now published in @natcomms.nature.com! We dissect the genetic relationship between T2D and hypertension and show it is not driven by a single shared pathway. 🧬 (1/N)

Polygenic scores are useful for early detection, but also early prevention! New paper shows people with high genetic risk of T2D have 3x more risk of developing it by age 35. Early detection could trigger lifestyle changes, metformin prescription... doi.org/10.1038/s414...
