Abstract
Susceptibility to type 1 diabetes is attributable to genes that link disease progression to distinct steps in immune activation, expansion, and regulation. Recent studies illustrate examples of disease-associated variants that function in multiple cell types and independent pathways, some that impact different steps of a single mechanistic pathway, and some that are functionally interactive for deterministic events in setting thresholds for immune response.Entities:
