Open AccessConfirmation of novel type 1 diabetes risk loci in families
Over 50 regions of the genome have been associated with type 1 diabetes risk, mainly using large case/control collections. In a recent genome-wide association (GWA) study, 18 novel susceptibility loci were ide...

Open AccessHbA1c and mean blood glucose show stronger associations with cardiovascular disease risk factors than do postprandial glycaemia or glucose variability in persons with diabetes: the A1C-Derived Average Glucose (ADAG) study
Increased glucose excursions and postprandial hyperglycaemia have been suggested as unique risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus. Much of the evidence i...

Open AccessReal-life glycaemic profiles in non-diabetic individuals with low fasting glucose and normal HbA1c: the A1C-Derived Average Glucose (ADAG) study
Real-life glycaemic profiles of healthy individuals are poorly studied. Our aim was to analyse to what extent individuals without diabetes exceed OGTT thresholds for impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and diabetes.

Current status and the future for the genetics of type I diabetes
The Type I Diabetes Genetics Consortium (T1DGC) is an international collaboration whose primary goal is to identify genes whose variants modify an individual's risk of type I diabetes (T1D). An integral part o...

Overview of the Type I Diabetes Genetics Consortium
The Type I Diabetes Genetics Consortium (T1DGC) is an international, multicenter research program with two primary goals. The first goal is to identify genomic regions and candidate genes whose variants modify...

Reproducible association with type 1 diabetes in the extended class I region of the major histocompatibility complex
The high-risk human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 alleles cannot explain the entire type 1 diabetes (T1D) association observed within the extended major histocompatibility complex. We have earlier i...

The intrauterine metabolic environment modulates the gene expression pattern in fetal rat islets: prevention by maternal taurine supplementation
Events during fetal life may in critical time windows programme tissue development leading to organ dysfunction with potentially harmful consequences in adulthood such as diabetes. In rats, the beta cell mass ...

Transcriptional profiling of type 1 diabetes genes on chromosome 21 in a rat beta-cell line and human pancreatic islets
We recently finemapped a type 1 diabetes (T1D)-linked region on chromosome 21, indicating that one or more T1D-linked genes exist in this region with 33 annotated genes. In the current study, we have taken a n...

Post-translational protein modifications in type 1 diabetes: a role for the repair enzyme protein-l-isoaspartate (d-aspartate) O-methyltransferase?
Post-translational modifications, such as isomerisation of native proteins, may create new antigenic epitopes and play a role in the development of the autoimmune response. Protein-l-isoaspartate (d-aspartate) O-...

Increased prevalence of Down’s syndrome in individuals with type 1 diabetes in Denmark: a nationwide population-based study
In patients with Down’s syndrome, dogma has long held that the prevalence of diabetes is increased. The aim of the present study was to determine the actual prevalence of Down’s syndrome among type 1 diabetic ...

Linkage disequilibrium and haplotype blocks in the MHC vary in an HLA haplotype specific manner assessed mainly by DRB1*03 and DRB1*04 haplotypes
First generation linkage disequilibrium (LD) and haplotype maps of the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) have been generated in order to aid the unraveling of the numerous disease predisposing genes...

Anaesthesia-induced hyperglycaemia early in life is not predictive for development of diabetes in diabetes-prone BB rats
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in genetically predisposed individuals characterised by selective destruction of the β-cells. Development of diabetes is in the asymptomatic pre-diabetic period c...

Gene expression profiles during beta cell maturation and after IL-1β exposure reveal important roles of Pdx-1 and Nkx6.1 for IL-1β sensitivity
Maturation of the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans is dependent upon sequential activation of different transcription factors such as Pdx-1 and Nkx6.1. This maturation is associated with an acquired sens...

Suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS)-3 protects beta cells against IL-1β-mediated toxicity through inhibition of multiple nuclear factor-κB-regulated proapoptotic pathways
The proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β induces apoptosis in pancreatic beta cells via pathways dependent on nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase, and protein kinase C. We recently showed sup...

Mutation analysis of suppressor of cytokine signalling 3, a candidate gene in Type 1 diabetes and insulin sensitivity
Beta cell loss in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus may result from apoptosis and necrosis induced by inflammatory mediators. The suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS)-3 is a natural inhibitor of cytokine...

Changes in expression of IL-1β influenced proteins in transplanted islets during development of diabetes in diabetes-prone BB rats
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial autoimmune disease characterised by selective destruction of beta cells in the islets of Langerhans. We have previously shown that IL-1β modulates beta cell functio...

Protein expression changes in a cell system of beta-cell maturation reflect an acquired sensitivity to IL-1β
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is caused by specific destruction of the pancreatic beta cells in the islets of Langerhans. Increased sensitivity to cytokines, in particular to interleukin-1β (IL-1β) seems to ...

Evidence of at least two type 1 diabetes susceptibility genes in the HLA complex distinct from HLA-DQB1, -DQA1 and –DRB1
Susceptibility to, and protection against development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) are primarily associated with the highly polymorphic exon 2 sequences of the HLA class II genes: DQB1, DQA1 and DRB1. However, severa...
