Brief summary: This review article discusses the influence of genetics on type 1 diabetes (T1D), particularly with regard to differences across diverse genetic ancestries, and the development of validated genetic risk scores (GRS) for use various populations. These may contribute to disease prevention and treatment.The autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells is triggered by the interaction of genetic predisposition and environmental factors.

To read the full abstract: JAMA. 2019;322(6):514–523. doi: 10.1001/jama.2019.10329Some children have a high genetic risk to develop type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and/or celiac disease. However, environmental factors may modify such risks. One arm of the TEDDY study assessed the influence of high gluten intakes on the development of celiac disease in genetically high risk children.<p clas...
