Childhood Diabetes in Finland (DiMe) Study Group. PG - 1021-8 AB - To investigate the relationship between human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-associated genetic factors and the development of beta-cell dysfunction, we performed sequential intravenous glucose tolerance tests (IVGTTs) on 81 islet cell antibody (ICA)-positive and/or insulin autoantibody-positive healthy siblings of children with newly diagnosed insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). A lower glucose disappearance rate (Kg) (P < 0.5) and decreased first-phase insulin response (FPIR) (P < 0.05) were observed on multiple occasions in HLA-identical siblings compared with the haploidentical or nonidentical ones. Siblings carrying the DQB1*0302/0201, -0302/x, or -0201/x genotype also had lower FPIRs (P < or = 0.05) at several time points than those with no DQB1 risk genotype. When all IVGTTs were taken into account, DQB1*0302/0201 heterozygous siblings had an abnormally low FPIR (< 45 mU/l; 3rd percentile) in at least one test more often than did siblings with no DQB1 risk genotype (50.0% vs. 6.1%; P = 0.001). Siblings carrying either the DQB1*0602 or the DQB1*0603 protective allele had lower serum peak ICA and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD)65 antibody levels (P = 0.023 and 0.007, respectively) and higher FPIRs on several occasions (P < 0.05) than those with the DQB1 risk genotypes. Progression to IDDM was related to both HLA identity and the presence of the DQB1*0302/0201 genotype. Normal Kg and FPIR levels were observed in siblings who were positive for only insulin autoantibody, and none of them developed IDDM.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) FAU - Veijola, R AU - Veijola R AD - Department of Pediatrics, University of Oulu, Finland.
