Validation of blood – derived single cell gene expression signature in peri – pancreatic lymph nodes of Type 1 Diabetes subjects

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an organ specific autoimmune disease resulting in an immune-mediated destruction of insulin-secreting beta cells. The etiology of T1Dis puzzled by a multifaceted interaction of environmental, genetic and epigenetic factors leading to variousendotypesof the disease. Fine mapping of T1D-associated genetic variants with cell-specific epigenetic markers or expression quantitative traits (eQTLs) indicates […]
