We identified one novel region, 20p12.1 (TASP1; genome-wide P < 5 × 10–8) and three regions, 1q21.3 (MRPS21–PRPF3), 2p25.2 (NRIR), 3q22.1 (COL6A6), with suggestive evidence of association (P < 8.5 × 10–8) with progression from islet autoimmunity to type 1 diabetes. Here, TASP1 is linked to type 1 diabetes mellitus.
