Multi-omics analysis reveals drivers of loss of β-cell function after newly diagnosed autoimmune type 1 diabetes: An INNODIA multicenter study.

Aims: Heterogeneity in the rate of β-cell loss in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients is poorly understood and creates a barrier to designing and interpreting disease-modifying clinical trials. Integrative analyses of baseline multi-omics data obtained after the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes may provide mechanistic insight into the diverse rates of disease progression after type 1 diabetes diagnosis.

Methods: We collected samples in a pan-European consortium that enabled the concerted analysis of five different omics modalities in data from 97 newly diagnosed patients.
