Project description:This set has around 6000 samples of human plasma from The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) Study, which comprises of time points from 3 months to case endpoint visit from children who developed type 1 diabetes or islet autoimmunity and their matched controls. In total, 3506 transitions were monitored to measure the abundance of 167 proteins.
Project description:In this set, we analyzed human plasma samples from The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) Study. In total, 2,252 samples from 184 individuals were concatenated into 364 pooled samples from individuals that developed type 1 diabetes or islet autoimmunity and their matched controls. Samples were analyzed from the same individuals pre and post-autoimmunity onset paired against controls. Each pooled sample was depleted with MARS abundant protein depletion column (Agilent), digested with trypsin and labeled with 8-plex iTRAQ reagent. Samples were then multiplexed and fractionated into 24 fractions by high-pH reverse-phase chromatography (DOI: 10.1038/s41596-018-0006-9). Each fraction was analyzed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.

Project description:<p>The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) Study investigates genetic and genetic-environmental interactions, including gestational events, childhood infections, dietary exposures, and other environmental factors after birth, in relation to the development of islet autoimmunity and type 1 diabetes (T1D). A consortium of six clinical centers assembled to participate in the development and implementation of the study to identify environmental triggers for the development of islet autoimmunity and T1D in genetically susceptible individuals. Beginning in 2004, the TEDDY study screened over 400,000 newborns for high-risk HLA-DR, DQ genotypes from both the general population and families already affected by T1D. The TEDDY study enrolled around 8,676 participants across six clinical centers worldwide (Finland, Germany, Sweden and three in the United States) in the 15-year prospective follow-up.</p> <p>Participants are followed every three months for islet autoantibody (IA) measurements with blood sampling until four years of age and then at least every six months until the age of 15. After the age of four, autoantibody positive participants continue to be followed at three month intervals and autoantibody negative participants are followed at six-month intervals. In addition to the analysis of autoantibodies, additional data and sample collection are performed at each visit. Parents collect monthly stool samples in early childhood. The parents also fill out questionnaires at regular intervals in connection with study visits and record information about diet and health status in the child's TEDDY Book between visits. Continued long-term follow-up of the currently active TEDDY participants will provide important scientific information on early childhood diet, reported and measured infections, vaccinations, and psychosocial stressors that may contribute to the development of type 1 diabetes and islet autoimmunity.</p> <p>Additional information on the TEDDY study is available in the following articles: The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) Study.
