Candidate genes for type 1 diabetes modulate pancreatic islet inflammation and <i>β</i> ‐cell apoptosis
1 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 50 loci associated with genetic risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Several T1D candidate genes have been suggested or identified within these regions, but the molecular mechanisms by which they contribute to insulitis and β-cell destruction remain to be clarified. More than 60% of the T1D candidate genes are expressed in human pancreatic islets,...
