Islet autoimmunity and progression to type 1 diabetes in the Finnish DIPP study: comparison between genetically susceptible children with and without an affected first-degree relative
At seroconversion, genetically susceptible children who had one or more FDRs with type 1 diabetes, especially an affected father, were more often positive for GADA and multiple islet autoantibodies. During the follow-up period, children with an affected FDR were more often positive for IAA, GADA and IA-2A, and progressed to clinical type 1 diabetes more often and faster than children without an affected FDR. These data should be considered when designing intervention and screening studies.
