Update of Type 1 Diabetes

چکیده
Diabetes is one of the fastest growing diseases. World health organization estimates that approximately 340 million people have type 1 diabetes and this number increases by 3-5% each year so the type 1 diabetes population reached 25 million by 2010. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that is caused as a result of destruction of pancreatic β-cells. Several factors may contribute to the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. Genetic susceptibility of type 1 diabetes is determined by polymorphisms/mutations in multiple genes in both human and animal models.
