Abstract excerpt
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing β cells. Genetic studies have identified > 60 T1D risk loci that harbor genes with disease-causative alleles. However, determining the biological effects of such loci is often difficult due to limited tissue availability. Disease-specific human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are a valuable resource for modeling T1D...
