The authors hypothesized that genetic predisposition to diabetes complications would be more evident among low-risk individuals and aimed to identify genes related to developing complications (confirmed distal symmetric polyneuropathy, overt nephropathy, or coronary artery disease) in low-risk groups. Participants in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications Study of childhood-onset type 1 diabetes, first seen in 1986-1988 (mean age, 28 years ; diabetes duration, 19 years), were reexamined biennially for 10 years. For each complication, subgroups with the lowest disease risk were identified by using tree-structured survival analysis, and 15 candidate genes were compared between subjects with and without complications. In the group with the lowest incidence of confirmed distal symmetric polyneuropathy (n=123), confirmed distal symmetric polyneuropathy risk increased fivefold for those with the eNOS GG genotype (p
