Forskare vid Lunds universitet har nu undersökt om en persons genetiska risk för olika undergrupper kan användas för att bedöma risken att utveckla kranskärlssjukdom. Forskarlaget utvecklade genetiska riskpoäng och fann att poängen för en undergrupp kunde förutsäga kranskärlssjukdom redan innan en diabetesdiagnos ha
