Abstract excerpt
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex autoimmune disease in which pancreatic beta cells are specifically destroyed by the immune system. The disease has an important genetic component and more than 50 loci across the genome have been associated with risk of developing T1D. The molecular mechanisms by which these putative T1D candidate genes modulate disease risk, however, remain poorly characterized and little is...
