This finding implies that IGH association with autoreactive IgM is detectable irrespective of disease status.These results suggest that genetic variants at the IgM gene region of the IGH locus contribute to antibody autoreactivity and are associated with T1D.
Following TCR stimulation, T1DM displayed significantly greater mRNA responses than CL for TNFSF5, 7, 9, and CCL8, and CXCL10; TNFSF9, CCL8, and CXCL10 were also significantly higher in T1DM than OW; no difference was observed between OW and CL.
