Differential Splicing of the IA-2 mRNA in Pancreas and Lymphoid Organs as a Permissive Genetic Mechanism for Autoimmunity Against the IA-2 Type 1 Diabetes Autoantigen

1 Apr 2001

Abstract excerpt

Type 1 diabetes results from the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta-cells in genetically susceptible individuals. Growing evidence suggests that genetically determined variation in the expression of self-antigens in thymus may affect the shaping of the T-cell repertoire and susceptibility to autoimmunity. For example, both allelic variation and parent-of-origin effects influence the thymic expression of...
