Abstract

Aims/hypothesis The incidence of Type 1 diabetes has increased 2.5 times during the time period from 1966 to 2000 in Finland-a general trend seen in almost all developed countries that can only be explained by environmental factors. The aim of this study was to test the possible effect of a changing environment on distribution of genotypes associated with disease susceptibility.Methods HLA DRB1-DQA1-DQB1 genes and two diabetes-associated polymorphisms at IDDM2 and IDDM12 were analyzed. The frequencies of genotypes were compared between cases diagnosed with childhood-onset Type 1 diabetes during the period of 1939-1965 (n=367) and those diagnosed between 1990 and 2001 (n=736). Chi-square statistics or the Fisher's Exact test were used for the comparison of frequencies of analyzed haplotypes and genotypes in the two groups.Results The frequencies of (DR3) -DQA1*05-DQB1*02 and (DR4) -DQB1*0302 risk haplotypes and the high risk (DR3) -DQA1*05-DQB1*02/DRB1*0401-DQB1*0302 genotype were higher while proportion of patients carrying protective haplotypes-(DR15) -DQB1*0602 and (DR1301) -DQB1*0603-or protective genotypes was lower in patients diagnosed before 1965 as compared to those who developed disease after 1990. No temporal variation was found in the frequencies of genotypes at IDDM2 and IDDM12.Conclusion/interpretation Our data suggest that the need for genetic susceptibility to develop Type 1 diabetes has decreased over time due to an increasing environmental pressure and this results in a higher disease progression rate especially in subjects with protective HLA genotypes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
