The rs3184504 polymorphism, encoding a hypomorphic variant of the negative regulator SH2B3, strongly associates with T1D.SH2B3 deficiency results in hypersensitivity to cytokines, including IL-2, in murine CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.SH2B3 deficient CD8+ T cells exhibit a comparable transcriptome to wild-type CD8+ T cells at baseline, but upon antigen stimulation SH2B3 deficient cells upregulate genes characteristic of enhanced JAK/STAT signaling and effector functions.We found a T-cell intrinsic role of SH2B3 leading to severe islet destruction in an adoptive transfer murine T1D model, while global SH2B3 deficiency accelerated spontaneous NOD diabetes across sexes.
