"It has been suggested that maternal environment, in particular maternal autoantibodies, modify the risk of developing autoimmune diabetes in offspring. The aim of this study was to determine whether modification of maternal environment and maternal diabetes risk through immunization affects autoimmune diabetes risk in the progeny.
