ScienceEarly-childhood gut microbiome development linked to type 1 diabetes risk
Nature Metabolism describes findings from the prospective, multicentre TEDDY study, which associates distinct patterns of gut microbiome maturation with differing risks of type 1 diabetes.
TLDR
The Nature Metabolism paper reports that gut microbiome maturation in early childhood interacts with genetics to predict type 1 diabetes risk. A post sharing the study highlights an “early plateaued” development pattern as associated with heightened risk in children.
