<p><strong>Research Design and Methods:</strong> We compared T1D genetic risk scores (GRS) of KPD patients across subgroups, race/ethnicity, beta cell function and glycemia. </p>
<p><strong>Results:</strong> Among 426 KPD patients (54% Hispanic, 31% African American, 11% White), rank-order of GRS was A+b- > A+b+ = A-b- > A-b+. GRS of A+b- KPD was lower than that of a T1D cohort and GRS of A-b+ KPD was higher than that of a T2D cohort. GRS was lowest among African American patients with a similar distribution across KPD subgroups.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> T1D genetic risk delineates etiological differences between KPD subgroups. A+b- KPD patients have the highest and A-b+ KPD patients the lowest GRS. </p>
