The article is clearly written; the subject matter itself if hugely complex - but the author does well to break the science down.

The title is a tad strong - "massive" is a small stretch - but it is a significant piece of work that has been built on a broad range of work that has been published over the 6y or so.

It talks about "personalised medicine" - which again is a stretch - but ultimately this will be the goal....

All in all (as a researcher of T1D) this is a hugely important and significant finding... And reported well.
