Identifying Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors for Type 1 Diabetes in Children
Received Date: Sep 02, 2024 / Published Date: Sep 30, 2024
Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune condition characterized by the destruction of insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas, leading to absolute insulin deficiency. The etiology of T1D is complex, involving a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors. This article reviews current research on the genetic and environmental risk factors associated with T1D in children. Understanding these factors is crucial for early identification, prevention strategies, and management of T1D.
