Study of PTPN22 C1858T Polymorphism in Children and Adolescents of Greek Origin With T1DM

Completed
Conditions
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Registration Number
NCT01276743
Lead Sponsor
Aristotle University Of Thessaloniki
Brief Summary

The protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene encodes a lymphoid-specific phosphatase (LYP) which is an important downregulatory factor of T cell activation. A PTPN22 polymorphism, C1858T, was found associated with T1DM in different Caucasian populations.

In this observational case-control study, we aimed at confirming the role of PTPN22, C1858T polymorphism in T1DM predisposition in a Greek population.
