Abstract

In a population-based setting, we traced serum samples collected at time of birth from 55 mothers whose children later developed insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM) and matched them pairwise to control subjects who gave birth at the same hospital during the same month. The sera were analysed for IgM antibodies to coxsackie B virus serotypes 2, 3 and 4 (CBV-2, 3 and 4) using a type-specific mu-antibody-capture radioimmunoassay. Despite a decreased power due to the close matching by time of birth we found a significantly higher frequency of CBV-3 IgM at delivery in mothers whose children later became diabetic compared to their matched control subjects. When using the presence of CBV-3 IgM as a risk factor the Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio estimate (95% confidence limits) was 2.57 (1.02; 7.31), p = 0.043. For CBV-2 and CBV-4, respectively no significant difference was found between mothers of patients and control subjects. According to the odds ratio estimate for CBV-3 and the proportion of exposed mothers among patients estimated in this study the aetiological fraction for this risk determinant would be 27%. In conclusion, this study indicates that children of mothers who expressed CBV IgM at delivery are at increased risk for develop...Continue Reading

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.
