Variants in the BACH2 and CLEC16A gene might be associated with susceptibility to insulin-triggered type 1 diabetes.

In addition to type 1 diabetes high-risk human leukocyte antigen class II and the class I allele of the insulin gene variable number tandem repeat genotype, the possibility that the risk variants of BACH2 and CLEC16A could contribute to the development of insulin-triggered type 1 diabetes cannot be excluded.
