Excessive occupational sitting increases risk of cardiovascular events among working individuals with type 1 diabetes in the prospective Finnish Diabetic Nephropathy Study - Cardiovascular Diabetology Background Sedentary behavior, such as excessive sitting, increases risk of cardiovascular disease and premature mortality in the general population, but this has not been assessed in type 1 diabetes....

Today is #WorldDiabetesDay! The #FinnDiane Study highlights that reducing sitting at work can help people with #Type1Diabetes maintain cardiovascular health doi.org/10.1186/s129... Let’s make workplaces healthier for people with #diabetes: move more, sit less! #DiabetesAndTheWorkplace

Exome-Wide Analysis Identifies a Rare EXD3 Missense Variant Associated With Diabetic Kidney Disease Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major complication of diabetes, with genetic factors contributing to its progression. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified common variants...

Our new #article on diabetic kidney disease has been published! Using exome-wide analysis, the GENIE consortium identified a novel rare EXD3 variant linked to the diabetic kidney disease in T1D. Full study: www.kireports.org/article/S246...

Excited to share our latest #article! We conducted the largest NGS study to date on SDR in type 1 diabetes, identifying rare variants in genes like AFAP1L1, SLC30A9, HPS3, PELI1 and CSMD2.

Small panel of proteins can predict the onset and progression of diabetic kidney disease in type 1 diabetes as shown by Stefan Mutter #EASD2025 #proteomics

Raija Lithovius showed that key factors for rapid eGFR decline were largely similar across cohorts with different ethnic backgrounds but some differences exist and should be further investigated #EASD2025

Lifetime exposure to hyperglycemia and lipids are risk factors for heart failure in type 1 diabetes as presented by Rebecka Bergdal #EASD2025

Nadja Vuori found new genomic hits in her first-ever genome-wide association survival analysis in retinopathy and type 1 diabetes #EASD2025

Congratulations to Anniina Tynjälä for winning a best early career abstract at #EASD2025 for her work on the genetic background of arterial stiffness in type 1 diabetes

Krishna Adeshara presents our results with regards to genetics of protein glycation: genetic variants linked to advanced glycation end products were associated with higher risk of coronary artery disease in type 1 diabetes #EASD2025

Sara Itkonen showed that neuropathy is associated with the future strokes in type 1 diabetes in our cohort #EASD2025

Women with two or more children have fewer complications according to Kaarina Rimpeläinen who is presenting her results at the European Diabetes conference #EASD2025

Age at type 1 diabetes onset does not influence attained brain volume - BMC Endocrine Disorders Introduction Type 1 diabetes is suspected to hamper brain growth, implying that people with earlier diabetes onset would, on average, achieve lower maximal brain volume. We set out to test this hypoth...

In our latest study, there was no connection between age at type 1 diabetes onset and intracranial volume, indicating that earlier diabetes onset does not have a clinically significant impact on brain growth doi.org/10.1186/s129... @folkhalsanresearch.bsky.social @helsinki.fi

Genome-wide characterization of 54 urinary metabolites reveals molecular impact of kidney function - Nature Communications Here, the authors identified genetic variants associated with urinary metabolites in 8,011 individuals. Further causal analysis suggested estimated kidney filtration rate (eGFR) affected 13 metabolite...

New study across three European cohorts reveals 54 genetic associations for metabolites in urine. Additionally, kidney function (eGFR) appears to causally affect 13 metabolites, whereas ethanolamine shows a potential protective effect on kidney function.
