Type 1 Diabetes Onset Preceded by Gene Expression Changes

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from insufficient insulin production and is thought to result from an immune reaction against the body’s own pancreatic β cells. The exact cause of T1D remains unknown, although asymptomatic islet autoimmunity lasting from weeks to years before diagnosis raises the possibility of intervention before the onset of clinical disease.
