Age at diagnosis (AAD) of Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is determined by the age at onset of the autoimmune attack and by the rate of beta cell destruction that follows.

In young UK, Finnish, Sardinian patients AAD-associated genomic variants were previously identified, which may vary across populations and with time. In 1956...
