Question

Type 1 diabetes is caused by a muted gene A. True B. False

Answer 1

That statement is "false" since the cause is still sort of unknown. Scientists are still working on figuring out why the immune system incorrectly damages and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells from the pancreas, which is how the type 1 diabetes is developed. However, muted genes are surely not a cause. 

Let me know if you need further info. :)
