Health promotion as a research area served three purposes: to inform the research questions, to direct the data collection, and to identify implications from the research findings. LÄS MER
3. Antigen-specific islet antibodies: prediction of beta cell failure and differentiation between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes
Sammanfattning : Autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA), protein tyrosine-phosphatase-like protein (IAÐ2A), and/or pancreatic islet cells (ICA) are autoimmune markers usually present at diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is therefore in general believed to be caused by an immune-mediated beta cell destruction. LÄS MER

Using data from a longitudinal cohort with adults, we analysed the genetic contribution to antidepressant response in Study I. LÄS MER
