Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) (also called insulin-dependent diabetes or juvenile-onset diabetes) accounts for 5 to 10% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes.

T1d
According to the selected literature, the relative genetic risk calculated from your genotype for males of European ancestry is 0.40. This corresponds to a 0.2% lifetime risk of developing type 1 diabetes, which is 60% less than for males of European ancestry in general (source) . Note that these calculations may not include all risk factors.
The lifetime risk of your type
It is estimated that 16 of every 10000 males of European ancestry with your genotype variants develop this disease in their lifetime.
T1d
The average lifetime risk
On average, about 40 of every 10000 males of European ancestry develop this disease in their lifetime.
T1d
