PG - 493-8 LID - 10.1002/dmrr.1189 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a clinically heterogeneous disease. The presence of associated autoimmune diseases (AAIDs) may represent a distinct form of autoimmune diabetes, with involvement of specific mechanisms. The aim of this study was to find predictors of AAIDs in the Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium data set. METHODS: Three thousand two hundred and sixty-three families with at least two siblings with T1D were included. Clinical information was obtained using questionnaires, anti-GAD (glutamic acid decarboxylase) and anti-protein tyrosine phosphatase (IA-2) were measured and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotyping was performed. Siblings with T1D with and without AAIDs were compared and a multivariate regression analysis was performed to find predictors of AAIDs. T1D-associated HLA haplotypes were defined as the four most susceptible and protective, respectively. RESULTS: One or more AAIDs were present in 14.4% of the T1D affected siblings. Age of diabetes onset, current age and time since diagnosis were higher, there was a female predominance and more family history of AAIDs in the group with AAIDs, as well as more frequent anti-GAD and less frequent anti-IA-2 antibodies. Risk and protective HLA haplotype distributions were similar, though DRB1*0301-DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201 was more frequent in the group with AAIDs. In the multivariate analysis, female gender, age of onset, family history of AAID, time since diagnosis and anti-GAD positivity were significantly associated with AAIDs. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with T1D, the presence of AAIDs is associated with female predominance, more frequent family history of AAIDs, later onset of T1D and more anti-GAD antibodies, despite longer duration of the disease. The predominance of certain HLA haplotypes suggests that specific mechanisms of disease may be involved. CI - Copyright (c) 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
