This table illustrates the absolute risk (or actual likelihood) of developing T1D depending on the number of high risk haplotypes an individual carries. For example, Caucasians and African Americans with two high risk haplotypes have about a 3% chance of developing the disease before age 30 years, depending on the population. The risk for Asians with two high risk haplotype is much lower (less than 1 %). Therefore, even if a person carries high risk haplotypes, their chances of developing T1D are quite low irrespective of their ethnicity.
