Abstract excerpt
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease with a complex interrelation of genetic and environmental factors. Genetic studies have reported HLA and non-HLA loci as significant contributors to T1D. However, the genetic basis of T1D among Emiratis is unexplored. This study aims to determine the contribution of four genes PTPN22, CTLA-4, IL2-RA, and INS to T1D risk among Emiratis. The association between...
