The β-Cell Genomic Landscape in T1D: Implications for Disease Pathogenesis
1 Jan 2021
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) develops as a consequence of a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors. Combined, these events trigger an autoimmune disease that results in progressive loss of pancreatic β cells, leading to insulin deficiency. This article reviews the current knowledge on the genetics of T1D with a specific focus on genetic variation in pancreatic islet regulatory...
