Despite the notion that there is a degree of commonality to the biological etiology of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), the lack of overlap in the genetic factors underpinning each of them suggests very distinct mechanisms. A disorder considered to be at the "intersection" of these two diseases is "latent autoimmune diabetes in adults" (LADA). Interestingly, genetic signals from...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease which is characterized by progressive destruction of insulin producing pancreatic islet β cells. The risk of developing T1D is determined by both genetic and environmental factors. A growing body of evidence supports an important role of T helper type 17 (Th17) cells along with impaired T regulatory (Treg) cells in the development of T1D in animal ...

Background and Aims: In this study, the effect of rs310441 polymorphism in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region on the development of susceptibility or resistance to Type 1 diabetes (T1D) among the people with T1D compared to healthy subjects has been investigated. Materials and Methods: This research, which is based on the examination of 130 cases with T1D and 98 controls, has been carrie...

To identify dietary patterns and assess their association with the presence or absence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) biochemical markers cardiovascular risk. The study involved patients T1D healthy individuals (n=90). Patients were recruited at Endocrinology Diabetes Outpatient Clinic Hospital from Federal University Ceará (HUWC-UFC) adult State (UECE) UFC, in period 2016 to 2017. Dietary intake was...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been associated with both genetic and environmental factors. Increasing incidence of T1D worldwide is prompting researchers to adopt different approaches to explain the biology of T1D, beyond the presence and activity of autoreactive lymphocytes. In this review, we propose inflammatory pathways as triggers for T1D. Within the scope of those inflammatory pathways and in...

background : we investigated whether the c-819t snp of the ctla4 gene is associated with type 1 diabetes (t1d) for the egyptian population, a multi-ethnic group.  we determined if expression of the c-819t snp correlated with onset of t1d for egyptian children and the prevalence of this polymorphism with respect to gender. methods: the association of the c-819t snp in intron 1 of the ctla-4 gene...

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is an immune-mediated disease. The autoreactive T cells in T1D patients attack and destroy their own pancreatic cells. In order to systematically investigate the potential autoreactive T cell receptors (TCRs), we used a high-throughput immune repertoire sequencing technique to profile the spectrum of TCRs in individual T1D patients and controls. We sequenced the T...

OBJECTIVE To assess the proportion of youth with type 1 diabetes under the care of pediatric endocrinologists in the United States meeting targets for HbA1c, blood pressure (BP), BMI, and lipids. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data were evaluated for 13,316 participants in the T1D Exchange clinic registry younger than 20 years old with type 1 diabetes for ≥1 year. RESULTS American Diabetes Ass...

AIMS To analyse time trends of antihyperglycaemic therapy and glycaemic control in adult subjects with type 1, or type 2 diabetes between 2002 and 2014 in Germany/Austria. METHODS 184,864 adults with diabetes (35,144 type 1 diabetes (T1D), 149,720 type 2 diabetes (T2D)) from the DPV-database documented between 2002 and 2014 were included. Regression models were applied for antihyperglycaemic ...
