Summary Genome-wide association studies have identified IFIH1, which encodes the double-stranded RNA sensor MDA5, as a type 1 diabetes (T1D) risk locus. The IFIH1 E627∗ variant is associated with protection from T1D, whereas A946T is associated with increased risk. To examine how these variants influence islet response...
