Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complicated autoimmune disease with largely unknown disease mechanisms. The diagnosis is preceded by a long asymptomatic period of autoimmune activity in the insulin-producing pancreatic islets. Currently the only clinical markers used for T1D prediction are islet autoantibodies, which are a sign of already-broken immune tolerance. The focus of this dissertation is on the early asymptomatic period preceding seroconversion to islet autoantibody positivity. The genetic risk of type 1 diabetes has been thoroughly mapped in genome-wide association studies, but environmental factors and molecular mechanisms that mediate the risk are less well understood. According to the hygiene hypothesis, the risk of immune-mediat...
