See our study on HMXO1 GTn repeat and heme oxogenase-1 concentrations in #FinnDiane participants with #T1D, collaboration with Lakkisto Lab! HMOX1 LL genotype was associated with cardiac events and mortality in men with #T1D, but not in women. #FolkhälsanResearch @finndiane.bsky.social rdcu.be/eBh3i
