Abstract

Aims/hypothesis Islet autoantibody-positive children progress to type 1 diabetes at variable rates. In our study, we asked whether characteristic autoantibody and/or gene profiles could be defined for phenotypes showing extreme progression.Methods Autoantibodies to insulin (IAA), GAD (GADA), insulinoma-associated antigen-2 (IA-2A) and zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8A) were measured in follow-up sera, and genotyping for type 1 diabetes susceptibility genes (HLA-DR/HLA-DQ, INS variable number of tandem repeats [VNTR] and single nucleotide polymorphisms at PTPN22, PTPN2, ERBB3, IL2, SH2B3, CTLA4, IFIH1, KIAA0350 [also known as CLEC16A], CD25, IL18RAP, IL10, COBL) was performed on the DNA samples of children born to a parent with type 1 diabetes and prospectively followed from birth for up to 22 years.Results Of the 1,650 children followed, 23 developed multiple autoantibodies and progressed to diabetes within 3 years (rapid progressors), while 24 children developed multiple autoantibodies and remained non-diabetic for more than 10 years from seroconversion (slow progressors). Rapid and slow progressors were similar with respect to HLA-DR/HLA-DQ genotypes, development of IAA, GADA and ZnT8A, and progression to multiple autoantibodies. In contrast, IA-2A development was considerably delayed in the slow progressors. Furthermore, both groups were effectively distinguished by the combined presence or absence of type 1 diabetes susceptibility alleles of non-HLA genes, most notably IL2, CD25, INS VNTR, IL18RAP, IL10, IFIH1 and PTPN22, and discrimination was improved among children carrying high-risk HLA-DR/HLA-DQ genotypes.Conclusions/interpretation Our data suggest that genotypes of non-HLA type 1 diabetes susceptibility genes influence the likelihood or rate of diabetes progression among children with multiple islet autoantibodies.

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.
