Abstract excerpt
Current classifications of diabetes distinguish between type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, recent evidence highlights overlap between T1D and T2D. In a recent study, we have suggested for the first time that STAT4 gene polymorphism is associated with increased risk for the development of T1D in the island of Crete, a well-defined area with genetically homogeneous population. The objective...
