Multiplex autoantibody screening in pediatric type 1 diabetes: POC Blot vs. ELISA for gluten-related disorders

The POC blot assay demonstrates promising potential as a reliable and rapid screening tool for autoantibodies in pediatric patients with T1D and gluten-related disorders in resource-limited settings. While further validation is needed, these findings suggest that POC testing could facilitate earlier diagnosis and improve the clinical management of coexisting autoimmune conditions in this population.
