Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Multiple genome-wide association studies have identified a strong genetic linkage between the SKAP2 locus and type 1 diabetes (T1D), but how this leads to disease remains obscure. Here, we characterized the functional consequence of a novel SKAP2 coding mutation in a patient with T1D to gain further insight into how this impacts immune tolerance. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We identified a 24-year-old...
