Why diabetes is genetic?

1 Answer(s) Available
Answer # 1 #

Researchers are learning how to predict a person's odds of getting diabetes. For example, most white people with type 1 diabetes have genes called HLA-DR3 or HLA-DR4, which are linked to autoimmune disease. If you and your child are white and share these genes, your child's risk is higher.
