Tissue-Specific Methylation of Human Insulin Gene and PCR Assay for Monitoring Beta Cell Death

The onset of metabolic dysregulation in type 1 diabetes (T1D) occurs after autoimmune destruction of the majority of pancreatic insulin-producing beta cells. We previously demonstrated that the DNA encoding the insulin gene is uniquely unmethylated in these cells and then developed a methylation-spe...
