STAT1 and type 1 diabetes mellitus: Over the past years, advances in the annotation of the human genome have revealed that many disease‐associated SNPs are located within lncRNAs, affecting their function by disrupting their secondary structure.[24] For instance, the T1D‐associated lncRNA Lnc13 regulates virus‐induced STAT1 signaling in pancreatic β cells in an allele‐specific manner.[5] Another lncRNA that harbors an SNP associated with T1D is NONHSAG044354, a lncRNA that is located over the T1D candidate gene BACH2.
