Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: A coding variant in PTPN22 (C1858T) is one of the most important genetic risk factors in type 1 diabetes (T1D). The role of the PTPN22 risk allele in B cells is still incompletely understood and has not been investigated directly in T1D. This study aimed to explore the role of PTPN22 in the homeostasis of B cells and its influence in T1D. METHODS: Wild-type (WT) and Ptpn22 inducible knockdown (KD) NOD...
