Decreased cord-blood phospholipids in young age at onset type 1 diabetes.
Children developing type 1 diabetes may have risk markers already in their umbilical cord blood. It is hypothesized that the risk for type 1 diabetes at an early age may be increased by a pathogenic pregnancy and be reflected in altered cord-blood composition. In this study metabolomics was used to test if the cord-blood lipidome was affected in children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes before eight
