Infections in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes: The MIDIA study
Annotation in Czech
Type 1 diabetes is caused by organ specific autoimmunity resulting from gene-environmental interactions. The main goal of the pediatric diabetes research, including our project, is to improve the quality of life of children with diabetes or their families; in our case this applies to children at prospective risk of type 1 diabetes. Non-genetic factors have so far been difficult to demonstrate. Certain infections or getting too few infections in early childhood are among the strongest candidate factors.The overall objective of this project is to assess the role of infections in development of type 1 diabetes. The MIDIA (the Norwegian acronyme for environmental triggers of type 1 diabetes) identifies at birth the babies with the higest genetic risk fortype 1 diabetes, and follows them regularly with stool samples, blood samples and questionnaires. This is done to assess candidate environmental exposures potentially triggering processes leading to type 1 diabetes. The environmental infectious ex
