Why do children with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) often have parents with autoimmune diseases? Our new study shows parental autoimmune conditions affect offspring’s T1D risk through complex genetic factors, including both HLA and non-HLA variants. 🔗 www.cell.com/cell-genomic...

Effects of parental autoimmune diseases on type 1 diabetes in offspring can be partially explained by HLA and non-HLA polymorphisms
Leveraging Finnish nationwide multi-generational registers and the biobanks of FinnGen, Wang, Liu, et al. investigated the effect of parental autoimmune diseases on offspring T1D. Their creative and r...

Last work tweet of 2024 (maybe 😉): I, Ken Kendler, Brad Verhulst, @jorsmo.bsky.social and @andrewgrotzinger.bsky.social et al in the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium Cross Disorder Group (PGC-CDG) wrote a review on challenges studying cross disorder (psych) genetics: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
