Age at diagnosis of type 2 diabetes in adults with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome compared to the Canadian population.

Plotted are prevalence ratios (PR, as %, bar graphs: red, 22q11.2DS; blue, Canadian population) and 95% confidence intervals (CI, vertical lines) per age group for age at diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Asterisks (*) indicate a statistically significant difference between the two groups. The proportion of those diagnosed with type 2 diabetes for the 22q11.2DS group was significantly greater in the 25–44 year age group (PR=2·38, 95% CI=1·39–4·08), and significantly lower in the 45–64 year age group (PR=0·54, 95% CI=0·31–0·97), than in the population. Of the two individuals in the 22q11.2DS group in the 65–69 year age range, neither had T2D diagnosed.
