HLA class II mediates type 1 diabetes risk by anti-insulin repertoire selection

2021-09-06

Abstract excerpt

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a common autoimmune disorder characterized by the destruction of insulin-secreting pancreatic β cells [1], in which polymorphism of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II region is the major genetic risk factor [2, 3, 4]. However, how variation in class II molecules alters T1D risk remains a longstanding question. Here we show how T1D risk due to HLA class II haplotype combinations [5]...
