Abstract

Type 1 diabetes is classified as an autoimmune disorder. Researchers observed the presence of viral Coxsackie virus B proteins within the β-cells in islets shortly after inoculating mice. This observation led them to establish a link between children who have T1D and an infection with the CVB. The objective of this research was to measure the degree of gene expression of highly expressed genes in individuals who were both infected with Coxsackie viruses B and previously had T1D. Additionally, levels of CVB IgG and HbA1c were assessed in the blood serum of patients with T1D.This correlation was assessed by analyzing the expression of genes with significantly extreme expression levels using logarithmic analysis with specialized mathematical software. This study revealed that there is an association between CVB IgG and HbA1c levels in T1D patients. Additionally, T1D patients with a family history of diabetes showed associations with genetic factors and gene expression. Interestingly, no significant differences in HbA1c levels were observed between patients based on their gender. Furthermore, the genes IGFBP5, GPNMB, and GJA1 exhibited a strong association with CVB. We propose a new strategy that may open up new therapy options for T1D caused by CVB through monitoring the physiological pathways of these genes.
