Abstract

Identification of circulating proteins that may play a role in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes can provide promising targets for biomarker and drug target identification. Supported by multiple lines of evidence, circulating abundances of CTSH, IL27RA, SIRPG, and PGM1 were associated with the risk of type 1 diabetes. Tissues and cell types with enrichment of target protein-coding gene expression were identified. CTSH, IL27RA, SIRPG, and PGM1 may be explored as biomarkers or drug targets for type 1 diabetes.
