Abstract excerpt
Melanoma differentiation-associated 5 (MDA5), a product of the IFIH1 gene, is responsible for sensing double-stranded viral double-stranded RNA (RNA). In this study, we showed a significant association of two rare IFIH1 variants, rs35744605 (E627X) and rs35667974 (I923V), with decreased risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in a Russian population (for the allele X627, odds ratio [OR] = 0.39, 95% confidence interval [95%...
