The cumulative genotype-specific risks for the populations under investigation are shown above.  These risk estimates are much easier to interpret clinically than relative risks.  For example, a Finnish child with 2S haplotypes has a 7.1% chance of developing T1D through age 35 years.  If he/she had 1S haplotypes, their risk would be 2.3%.  So, even when individuals carry these susceptibility genes, their actual likelihood of developing T1D is really quite low.
