The gut microbiomes of infants who have a high risk of developing type 1 diabetes vary significantly based on geographical location, according to a study published in Diabetes Care.
The microbiomes of infants at high risk for type 1 diabetes were comparable to the general population based on their location, reported Eric W. Triplett, PhD, of the Institute of Food and Agricultural Studies at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Fla., and colleagues.
Previous evidence has associated gut microbiome dysbiosis with a variety of diseases, including type 1 diabetes. The researchers in this study sought to determine how geographical location affects the microbiome of infants who are at high risk for type 1 diabetes in a population of homogenous HLA class II genotypes.
