Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by an immune-mediated destruction of the insulin-producing β-cells. Several studies support the involvement of T cell activation molecules in the pathogenesis of T1D. In order to underline the role of the genes involved in this activation pathway, we investigated, using the Sequenom MassARRAY platform, 45 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) belonging to TCR/CD3, CD28, ZAP70, and...
