Leveraging type 1 diabetes human genetic and genomic data in the T1D Knowledge Portal

Translating genetic discoveries for type 1 diabetes (T1D) into mechanistic insight can reveal novel biology and therapeutic targets but remains a major challenge. We developed the T1D Knowledge Portal (T1DKP), a disease-specific resource of genetic and functional annotation data that enables users to develop hypotheses for T1D-based research and target discovery. The T1DKP can be used to query genes and genomic regions for genetic associations, identify epigenomic features, access results of bioinformatic analyses, and obtain expert-curated resources. The T1DKP is available at http://t1d.hugeamp.org .
