Integrated glycomics and genetics analyses reveal a potential role for N-glycosylation of plasma proteins and IgGs, as well as the complement system, in the development of type 1 diabetes.

This study identified novel genetic associations driving the distinct N-glycosylation of plasma proteins and IgGs identified previously at type 1 diabetes onset. Our results highlight the importance of further exploring the potential role of N-glycosylation and its influence on complement activation and type 1 diabetes susceptibility.
