Inherited Disease
Fine mapping of type 1 diabetes susceptibility loci and evidence for colocalization of causal variants with lymphoid gene enhancers.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a common autoimmune disorder with some genetic basis. T1D patients often suffer from additional autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis. This study identifies genes that confer risk for T1D, and finds some overlap between genetic risk profiles for T1D and other autoimmune disorders.
