Gut Microbiome Development May Help Predict Type 1 Diabetes in Children at High Risk
A longitudinal study of 887 children found that early microbiome plateauing was tied to a threefold higher risk, and genetics changed the effect.

Gut microbiome development may help predict type 1 diabetes in children at high risk
Type 1 diabetes affects more than 9 million people worldwide, including 1.8 million children and adolescents. While the disease is thought to be driven by complex genetic factors, researchers are also examining the influence of environmental exposures, including how the population of microorganisms living in the gut develops.
AGI - Children with a high genetic risk of type 1 diabetes whose intestinal microbioma undergoes an early development stop are associated with a three-fold higher risk of contracting the disease or activating the previous immune attack, than those with a standard bacterial maturation. The relationship between microbioma and diabetes in the youngest Ones reveals a study, published in the journal Nature Metabolism, conducted by scientists at Mass …
