Dynamic changes in immune gene co-expression networks predict development of type 1 diabetes
Abstract Significant progress has been made in elucidating genetic risk factors influencing Type 1 diabetes (T1D); however, features other than genetic variants that initiate and/or accelerate islet autoimmunity that lead to the development of clinical T1D remain largely unknown. We hypothesized tha...
