Brief Summary: This longitudinal cohort study of 885 infants with high genetic risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D) explored the temporal association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and development of T1D–associated autoimmunity. The incidence rate of islet autoantibodies was higher in children with vs. without SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (7.8 vs. 3.5 per 100 person-years). Hence, SARS-CoV-2 infection appears temporally associated with the development of islet autoantibodies.<p class...

Brief Summary: This study explored the potential causal pathways underlying the association between childhood-onset T1D and subsequent psychiatric disorders, using data from a Czech national register of 4,500 children (age ≤14 years) with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and large-scale European genetic studies. Children diagnosed with T1D had an elevated risk of developing substance use, mood, anxiety and personality disorders, and behavioural syndromes. In contrast, they had a lo...
