Abstract

Longitudinal changes in GAD antibody (Ab) and ICA512/IA-2 (ICA512) Ab were examined in relation to age at the onset of diabetes and autoimmunity against the thyroid gland. GADAb, ICA512Ab, and antithyroid autoantibody were examined at onset in 40 juvenile-onset IDDM patients (17 males, 23 females, age at onset 9.4 +/- 4.1 years, range 1.7-20). To assess the changes in antibody levels, 29 patients were followed up with sequential serum samples for up to 5 years. At onset, GADAb, ICA512Ab, and antithyroid autoantibody (thyroglobulinAb or thyroid peroxidaseAb) were found in 70, 58, and 25% of the 40 patients, respectively. Prepubertal patients (n = 21) had a significantly higher prevalence and index of ICA512Ab compared with pubertal patients (n = 19) (76 vs. 37%, P = 0.012, and 2.43 +/- 2.36 vs. 0.66 +/- 1.23, P = 0.011), while GADAb was more prevalent in pubertal patients (57 vs. 84%, P = 0.09). A longitudinal analysis of GADAb and ICA512Ab showed that GADAb levels declined more slowly than those of ICA512Ab (P = 0.008). Patients with continuous extremely high levels of GADAb also had high levels of antithyroid autoantibody. The measurement of ICA512Ab is useful in prepubertal patients, who often show rapid progression of the di...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Thyroiditis

Autoimmune thyroiditis is an inflammatory disease of thyroid gland due to autoimmune responses leading to lymphocytic infiltration of the gland. It is characterized by the presence of circulating thyroid antigen-specific T-cells and thyroid autoantibodies. Discover the latest research on autoimmune thyroiditis here.

Autoimmune Diabetes & Tolerance

Patients with type I diabetes lack insulin-producing beta cells due to the loss of immunological tolerance and autoimmune disease. Discover the latest research on targeting tolerance to prevent diabetes.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
