Using a baseline lifetime probability of developing diabetes of 20% - should be higher for this population but we'll take the non-Hispanic white population as our base - the average absolute probability for heterozygous individuals goes up Corneliusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-2275302480820889422014-04-13T16:55:29.404-04:002014-04-13T16:55:29.404-04:00Then your risk has increased by 1% or less.
