than one whose mother is affected [see (52,53) and references therein].This parental difference is largely due to a low risk for offspring of mothers who were diagnosed at a later age (53).The difference could be explained by at least three different factors.First, the risk alleles could only be active when transmitted by the father (such as is seen in imprinting, where only one of the parental alleles is expressed).Alternatively, a maternal environmental factor during pregnancy could be protective.However, it is difficult to see how this protective effect would be restricted to mothers diagnosed at a later age, especially since the protective effect was unrelated to the mother's duration of diabetes or even diabetic status at delivery (53).Finally, mothers who are diagnosed

"CONCLUSION\n\nThe greatest genetic risk (both increased risk, susceptible, and decreased risk, protective) for type 1 diabetes is conferred by specific alleles, genotypes, and haplotypes of the HLA class II (and class I) genes.There are currently about 50 non-HLA region loci that also affect the type 1 diabetes risk.Many of the assumed functions of the non-HLA genes of interest suggest that variants at these loci act in concert on the adaptive and innate immune systems to initiate, magnify, and perpetuate -cell destruction.The clues that genetic studies provide will eventually help lead us to identify how -cell destruction is influenced by environmental factors.While there is extensive overlap between type 1 diabetes and other immune-mediated diseases, it appears that type 1 and type 2 diabetes are genetically distinct entities.These observations may suggest ways to help identify causal gene(s) and, ultimately, a set of disease-associated variants defined on specific haplotypes.Unlike other complex human diseases, relatively little familial clustering remains to be explained for type 1 diabetes.The remaining missing heritability for type 1 diabetes is likely to be explained by as yet unmapped common variants, rare variants, structural polymorphisms, and gene-gene and/or gene-environmental interactions, in which we can expect epigenetic effects to play a role.The examination of the type 1 diabetes genes and their pathways may reveal the earliest pathogenic mechanisms that result in the engagement of the innate and adaptive immune systems to produce massive -cell destruction and clinical disease.The resources established by the international T1DGC are available to the research community and provide a basis for future discovery of genes that

\"Diabetes mellitus: A 'thrifty' genotype rendered detrimental by 'progress'?\" one of us published the suggestion that the basic defect in diabetes mellitus was a quick insulin trigger [I].This was

however, it was hypothesized, the pattern of over-alimentation in the technologically advanced nations resulted in insulin levels that elicited the insulin antagonists popularized by Vallance-Owen and colleagues [2][3][4] , and the result was diabetes mellitus.The changing dietary patterns of Western Civilization had compromised a complex homeostatic mechanism.The paper was written before the clear distinction between type I and type II diabetes had been drawn, but in retrospect was directed at type II or non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM).This quick insulin trigger was under a (still) poorly defined genetic control.Since too quick an insulin trigger might be as disadvantageous as too slow a trigger, it was suggested that this genetic control might take the form of a balanced polymorphism, by analogy with the polymorphisms for the sickle cell allele (ßs) then receiving so much attention.When other laboratories could not confirm Vallance-Owen's insulin antagonists (except in rare cases), the original physiological basis for the hypothesis collapsed.Although alternative \"balance\" hypotheses came to mind [5], they were neither as simple nor as intellectually

of diabetic mothers clearly sets up the potential for an amplification of diabetes prevalence over successive generations." + }, + { + "document_id": "903e9615-c329-48be-9547-386a00f2dd94", +

changes in lifestyle.In addition, low birth weight and exposure to undernutrition in utero are common in some Asian populations, especially in India, where 30% of infants are underweight. 115Insults or stresses during the intrauterine period can lead to permanent changes in structure, metabolism, and physiology through altered expression of the genome without changes in the DNA codes, a process called epigenetics. 116These early life events may influence later susceptibility to diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, and cardiorenal diseases.Prospective studies from India have shown the impact of fetal undernutrition (often manifested as low birth weight) as well as overnutrition (eg, the infant of a mother with diabetes) on future risk of diabetes. 115In India, thinness in infancy and overweight at age 12 years was associated with increased risk of developing IGT or diabetes in young adulthood. 117 recent meta-analysis of 30 studies found a significant graded association between low birth weight and increased risk of type 2 diabetes. 118Low birth weight has also been found to predict diabetes and the metabolic syndrome in Asian adults and children, [119][120][121] thus lending support to the notion that fetal programming with exposure to poor nutrition in utero or during early childhood can promote a fatpreserving or thrifty phenotype.These metabolic changes predispose individuals to insulin resistance and reduced beta cell function.Positive energy balance in later life, caused by rapid westernization of diet and lifestyle, may then exaggerate accumulation of adiposity, particularly in the central depots. 122he 2-to 3-fold higher risk of gestational diabetes in Asian women than in their white counterparts also may contribute to the increasing epidemic of young-onset diabetes in Asia. 123Asian women with a history of gestational diabetes have a substantially increased risk of diabetes, while their offspring exhibit early features of the metabolic syndrome, thus setting up a vicious cycle of \"diabetes begetting diabetes. \"This combination of gestational diabetes, in utero nutritional imbalance, childhood obesity, and overnutrition in adulthood will continue to fuel the epidemic in Asian countries undergoing rapid nutritional transitions. 115enetic Susceptibility.Among lean, healthy individuals matched for age, BMI, waist circumference, birth weight, and current diet, Asians (especially those of Southeast Asian descent) had higher levels of postprandial glycemia and lower insulin sensitivity than whites in response to a 75-g carbohydrate load. 124These findings raise the possibility that Asians are more genetically susceptible to insulin resistance and diabetes than whites." + }, + { + "document_id":

[Neel 1982:290] In perhaps his last written statement on the thrifty genotype hypothesis, Neel writes that there is \"no support to the notion that high frequency of NIDDM in reservation Amerindians might be due simply to an ethnic predisposition-rather, it must predominantly reflect lifestyle changes\" (Neel 1999:S3).In spite of this, many genetic epidemiologists argue that genetic differences explain rates of diabetes between different populations.For example, drawing on research with Mexicanos/as, one diabetes consortium member writes, \"there is strong evidence that Mexican Americans living in the barrio have considerably more Native Amerindian genetic admixture and as a result may have higher genetic susceptibility to diabetes\" (Stern 1999:S67). \"It smells and tastes like a thrifty gene in terms of its metabolic function,\" remarked one molecular biologist interested in the protein implicated in a genetic study of diabetes." + }, + { + "document_id": "9240ab9b-c5bb-4475-ad2b-111843cb146a", + "section_type": "main", + "text": "\n\nThe risk for T1D is strongly influenced by multiple genetic loci and environmental factors.The disease is heritable, with first-degree relatives of patients with T1D being at 15-fold greater risk for developing the condition than the general population." + } + ], + "document_id": "9892FB125B6B5D4C8FC4FDA6E1E25271", + "engine": "gpt-4", + "first_load": false, + "focus": "api", + "keywords": [ + "type&1&diabetes", + "genetic&risk", + "HLA", + "immune&function", + "environmental&factors", + "autoimmunity", + "gene&variants", + "epigenetic", + "insulin&gene", + "genetic&screening" + ], + "metadata": [ + { + "object": "The HLA-B*42, HLA-C*17, HLA-DPA1*03, and HLA-DPB1*105 genotypes were associated with allergic asthma and the HLA-B*48 genotype with the nonallergic phenotype.
