N2 - Colonization of the fetal and infant gut microbiome
results in dynamic changes in diversity, which can impact
disease susceptibility. To examine the relationship
between human gut microbiome dynamics throughout infancy
and type 1 diabetes (T1D), we examined a cohort of 33
infants genetically predisposed to T1D. Modeling
trajectories of microbial abundances through infancy
revealed a subset of microbial relationships shared
across most subjects. Although strain composition of a
given species was highly variable between individuals, it
was stable within individuals throughout infancy.
Metabolic composition and metabolic pathway abundance
remained constant across time. A marked drop in
alpha-diversity was observed in T1D progressors in the
time window between seroconversion and T1D diagnosis,
accompanied by spikes in inflammation-favoring organisms,
gene functions, and serum and stool metabolites. This
work identifies trends in the development of the human
infant gut microbiome along with specific alterations
that precede T1D onset and distinguish T1D progressors
from nonprogressors.
