At #EASD and interested in learning about how polygenic risk scores can be use to improve prediction and prevention of type 2 diabetes? Come see my talk at 17:25 today in the Milan Hall as part of the EASD-ADA Joint Symposium. I'll also be around until Friday afternoon if anyone wants to chat.

Modelling the impact of these in the wider UK population, we show that supplementing screening with conventional risk factors (i.e. SCORE2) with targeted follow-up with NMR scores and PRSs could increase the # of CVD events prevented from 201 to 370 per 100K screened

Using the latest UK Biobank data, we show that:

- Integrating NMR scores and PRSs with SCORE2 can moderately improve 10-year CVD risk prediction (by up to 9%)

- Risk stratification is also improved when using ESC 2021 guideline-recommended risk categorisation
