Immune mechanisms involved in type 1 diabetes: insights from genetics

Plagnol V

Recent advances in genotyping technologies combined with large scale recruitment of caseĀ–control cohorts have enabled the development of the genome-wide association (GWA) study design. As a consequence of this ongoing work, 64 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in 53 chromosome regions have now been associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D) risk (see www.t1dbase.org). These findings provide an unbiased assessment of the genetic...
