OBJECTIVES--To determine the pattern of cellular and humoral immune changes associated with insulin dependent diabetes before diabetes develops. DESIGN--Prospective study over 10 years of 25 non-diabetic identical twins of patients with insulin dependent diabetes. The non-diabetic twins were followed up either till they developed diabetes or to the end of the study. SETTING--Teaching hospital. SUBJECTS--25 non-diabetic identical cotwins of patients with diabetes; 46 controls of the same sex and similar age tested over the same period. Of the 25 twins (total follow up 144 patient years), 10 developed diabetes (prediabetic twins); the remainder were followed up for a mean of 7.7 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Results of glucose tolerance tests or fasting blood glucose concentrations at each sample point. Measurements of activated T lymphocytes, expressing the HLA-DR antigen, islet cell antibodies, and insulin autoantibodies in samples. RESULTS--All 10 prediabetic twins had both cellular and humoral changes initially and in most samples before diabetes was diagnosed (activated T lymphocytes in 39/40, islet cell antibodies in 45/47, and insulin autoantibodies to islet cells and insulin were detected infrequently (in 8/54, 6/69, and 0/69 samples, respectively). The combination of cellular and humoral (islet cell antibodies or insulin autoantibodies) immune changes were detected in all 10 of the prediabetic twins but in only one of the 15 non-diabetic twins (P < 0.001). The positive predictive value in this cohort of increased percentages of activated T cells and the presence of antibodies to islet cells or insulin on two consecutive occasions was 100%. CONCLUSION--Most of the twins had cellular or humoral immune changes at some stage. A combination of cellular and humoral immune changes and their tendency to persist is highly predictive of insulin dependent diabetes and distinguishes twins who develop diabetes from those who do not. 相似文献

Several epidemiological and metabolic studies have demonstrated an impact of the intrauterine environment on the development of disease in adult life, including Type 2 diabetes and glucose intolerance. Our finding of lower birth weights among monozygotic diabetic twins compared to their non-diabetic genetically identical co-twins confirms this association and, furthermore, eliminates the possibility that the association could be explained solely by common genes leading to both impaired intrauterine growth and increased risk of Type 2 diabetes. Due to an often shared placenta monozygotic twins may experience a more adverse intrauterine environment compared to dizygotic twins and may therefore be more prone to develop various metabolic abnormalities. Our findings of a higher glucose and insulin profile after oral glucose ingestion, and recently lower insulin-stimulated glucose uptake--indicating glucose intolerance and insulin resistance--among monozygotic compared to dizygotic twins may to some extent question the validity of classical twin studies in diabetes research where equal environmental influences in monozygotic and dizygotic twins is assumed. The potential role of an adverse intrauterine environment in causing Type 2 diabetes in humans, may to some degree alter our conception of the twin model in diabetes research including the interpretation of aetiological conclusions reached in previous classical twin studies of diabetes. However, our present knowledge is far too insufficient to discard the results from classical twin studies concerning the relative role of genes versus environment for the development of diabetes and its metabolic effects. 相似文献

To address the question whether there are simple clinical predictors of need for insulin in the first 18 months of treatment of diabetes presenting in young adult subjects, a prospective study of 24 patients with diabetes mellitus (age: 18-40 years) was designed. At diagnosis of diabetes, age, sex, body mass index (BMI), glycemia, ketonuria, C-peptide, insulin autoantibodies, islet cell antibodies and glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies were recorded before starting any treatment. At the end of the follow-up (18 +/- 4 months), they were divided into two groups according to their need for insulin therapy: group 1 (n=15; 62%), who needed insulin therapy, and group 2 (n=9; 38%), who did not. Each marker was related to actual need for therapy necessity. Multivariate analysis showed that BMI and age were the variables with greatest predictive value regarding need for insulin. These data reveal that the need for insulin therapy in young adult diabetic patients may be supported by the clinical criteria of age and BMI, which are both easily and quickly determined. 相似文献

Strategies to identify subjects at risk for type 1 diabetes are largely based on the detection of autoantibodies directed to various beta cell autoantigens. Most previous studies only comprise siblings and children of patients with type 1 diabetes; only scare data are available on the antibody profile in older relatives. In this study, we examined the prevalence of cytoplasmic islet cell antibodies (ICA), antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA), antibodies to the protein tyrosine phosphatase IA-2 (IA-2A) and IA-2beta (IA-2betaA) in 531 unaffected parents of patients with type 1 diabetes, and compared the results with antibody frequencies in 2425 siblings. The frequency of ICA, GADA and IA-2A was substantially higher among siblings as compared to parents of patients with type 1 diabetes (8.0% vs. 4.5%, 8.0% vs. 4.3%, and 4.5% vs. 1.9%, respectively; p<0.01). However, subdividing the probands according to age revealed a high prevalence of ICA (5.5 %), GADA (5.9 %), and IA-2A (3.1%) among parents aged 31 -40 years which was similar to that observed in siblings above 20 years of age (6.4%, 6.4%, and 3.1%). In both cohorts, GADA and IA-2A were significantly associated with the presence of ICA. The combined screening for GADA and IA-2A identified 100% of parents and 91.9% of siblings at high risk for type 1 diabetes (>10 JDF-U). Furthermore, the analysis of antibody combinations revealed that among antibody positive individuals the percentage of subjects with two or three antibodies was even higher in parents (69.0%) than in siblings (58.2%). The present study shows a high frequency of single and multiple autoantibodies in unaffected parents of patients with type 1 diabetes. Our data indicate that GAD and IA-2 not only represent the major target of autoantibodies in young siblings but also in adult relatives. These findings may be important for the design of future intervention studies. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the risk of having twin infants for mothers who are twins; to investigate the genetic influence on twinning. DESIGN: Retrospective study of multiple births in two nationwide registries. SETTING: Sweden. SUBJECTS: Multiple births among 31,586 deliveries between 1973 and 1991 to women who were twins. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Numbers of monozygotic and dizygotic twin births expected and estimated. RESULTS: Women who are dizygotic twins have a moderately increased risk of having twins (relative risk 1.30, 95% confidence interval 1.14 to 1.49) which seems to be completely the result of dizygotic twinning. When a mother is a monozygotic twin, her risk of having twins of the same sex is significantly increased (1.47; 1.10 to 1.97). This is the result of an excess of monozygotic twins (39 pairs estimated, 18 expected). CONCLUSIONS: Women who are twins have an increased risk of giving birth to twins. Genetic components of monozygotic and dizygotic twinning seem to be independent. 相似文献

Ten non-diabetic identical twins of insulin dependent diabetics were studied to see whether they showed changes in insulin secretion. The twins were selected because more than 11 years had elapsed since the diagnosis of the diabetic twin and they were therefore unlikely to develop diabetes, and they had had islet cell antibodies. Despite similar glucose concentrations to the controls the twins had greater total immunoreactive insulin responses to both oral (mean 3280 (SD 699) versus 2338 (1110) pmol/dl at 180 minutes; p less than 0.05) and intravenous (1346 (690) versus 699 (294) pmol/dl at 30 minutes; p less than 0.05) glucose challenge. The C peptide responses to intravenous glucose were also increased consistent with increased insulin secretion. In addition, basal serum proinsulin concentrations in the twins were increased (2.1 (1.2) versus 1.0 (0.3) pmol/dl; p less than 0.01) and remained so throughout both tests. These twins, who were unlikely to develop insulin dependent diabetes, showed evidence of beta cell dysfunction which does not progress to diabetes. 相似文献

We examined birth records from Japanese statistics, 1975–1994, to investigate the seasonality of twin births. We could identify
198 924 pairs of twins (97.9% of all the registered twin records) and estimated the numbers of mono- and dizygotic twin pairs.
The seasonal index of the twinning rate for each month was calculated by dividing the crude rate by the estimated trend value
for the month. There were significant variations in the seasonal index for overall, dizygotic and monozygotic twinning rates.
Peak months with values more than 3% higher than expected were July and October–December for dizygotic twins, and April and
June for monozygotic twins; these seasonalities were statistically significant by analysis of variance and the patterns were
similar in recent years, with a sharp increase in the total twinning rate. When observed year-by-year, however, there were
years that did not show these typical seasonalities. It is suggested that the mechanisms for probable seasonal variations
in twinning rates are different for dizygotic and monozygotic twin pregnancies, and that factors involved in these variations
are not effective every year.

To study the antigens involved in the islet cell
antibody (ICA) reaction we selected 30 patient
serum samples (ten in each group) positive for ICA
and one other additional autoantibody, such as
glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (GADA),
thyrosine phosphatase antibodies (IA-2A) or insulin
autoantibodies (IAA). The serum samples were
incubated with the specific antigen (GAD65, IA-2 or
insulin) and the ICA analysis and the corresponding
immunoprecipitation assay were performed before
and after the absorption.We could then demonstrate that specific autoantibodies
against GAD65 and IA-2 could be absorbed
with the corresponding antigen, since ten GADA
positive and six IA-2A samples turned completely
negative. However, the ICA reaction after absorption
with GADA, IA-2A and insulin was still present,
although at significantly lower levels. The results
strongly indicate that the ICA reaction represents
simultaneous autoimmunity against several other
antigens beside GAD65, IA-2 and insulin. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo report a rare case of diabetes caused by type B insulin resistance due to development of insulin receptor autoantibodies during treatment of hepatitis C with interferon-a and ribavirin.MethodsClinical and laboratory findings in the case are presented. The literature on type B insulin resistance and interferon-induced autoimmunity is reviewed.ResultsA 55-year-old African American man with hepatitis C was treated with interferon and ribavirin. Eight months later, he presented with rapid onset of hyperglycemia, profound weakness, and weight loss. Severe hyperglycemia persisted despite insulin infusion rates as high as 125 U/h. The presence of insulin receptor autoantibodies was confirmed by immunoprecipitation of recombinant human insulin receptor with patient serum. Assays for autoantibodies to islet cell antigens and glutamic acid decarboxylase were negative. The interferon and ribavirin were discontinued. His insulin requirement spontaneously declined to low levels over a 6-month period. Two years after discharge of the patient, insulin receptor autoantibodies could no longer be demonstrated in his serum. He remains euglycemic and is no longer taking insulin.ConclusionThis case demonstrates that type B insulin resistance can occur as a complication of interferon-α therapy. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the United States of type B insulin resistance with development of insulin receptor autoantibodies during treatment with interferon-a.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is heterogeneous in many facets. The patients suffered from type 1 diabetes present several levels of islet function as well as variable number and type of islet-specific autoantibodies. This study was to investigate prevalence and heterogeneity of the islet autoantibodies and clinical phenotypes of type 1 diabetes mellitus; and also discussed the process of islet failure and its risk factors in Chinese type 1 diabetic patients. A total of 1,291 type 1 diabetic patients were enrolled in this study. Demographic information was collected. Laboratory tests including mixed-meal tolerance test, human leukocyte antigen alleles, hemoglobinA1c, lipids, thyroid function and islet autoantibodies were conducted. The frequency of islet-specific autoantibody in newly diagnosed T1DM patients (duration shorter than half year) was 73% in East China. According to binary logistic regressions, autoantibody positivity, longer duration and lower Body Mass Index were the risk factors of islet failure. As the disease developed, autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase declined as well as the other two autoantibodies against zinc transporter 8 and islet antigen 2. The decrease of autoantibodies was positively correlated with aggressive beta cell destruction. Autoantibodies can facilitate the identification of classic T1DM from other subtypes and predict the progression of islet failure. As there were obvious heterogeneity in autoantibodies and clinical manifestation in different phenotypes of the disease, we should take more factors into consideration when identifying type 1 diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

The uniformity of twins has been examined by assembling estimates of the intraclass correlation coefficient (rho(I)) available in the literature for a variety of parameters studied in cattle monozygotic twins and human dizygotic and monozygotic twins. The values of rho(I) vary considerably between parameters. In human monozygotic twins rho(I) is always larger compared to that found in dizygotic twins. There is insufficient evidence to determine whether artificial monozygotic twins are more uniform than natural monozygotic twins. A new measure of twin uniformity, given by T (3) = 1 (1-rho (I)) , is introduced. In practice 2T(3) gives the number of animals chosen at random that one member of a twin pair can replace without loss of statistical efficiency. A useful class of experimental designs for the exploitation of twin uniformity is incomplete block designs. These designs are defined by (v, k, b), where v is the number of treatments to be compared, k = 2, and b is the number of twin pairs. Each design has an associated efficiency (E). Provided rho(I)>1-E, an incomplete block design will be advantageous. In general, when only a few twin pairs are available, this relation will only hold for monozygotic and not dizygotic twins. Suitable arrangements of treatment comparisons for designs (3,2,8), (4,2,9), (5,2,10), (6,2,11) are presented. 相似文献

Objectives : A twin‐based comparative study on the genetic influences in metabolic endophenotypes in two populations of substantial ethnic, environmental, and cultural differences was performed. Design and Methods : Data on 11 metabolic phenotypes including anthropometric measures, blood glucose, and lipids levels as well as blood pressure were available from 756 pairs of Danish twins (309 monozygotic and 447 dizygotic twin pairs) with a mean age of 38 years (range: 18‐67) and from 325 pairs of Chinese twins (183 monozygotic and 142 dizygotic twin pairs) with a mean age of 40.5 years (range: 18‐69). Twin modeling was performed on full and nested models with the best fitting models selected. Results : Heritability estimates were compared between Danish and Chinese samples to identify differential genetic influences on each of the phenotypes. Except for hip circumference, all other body measures exhibited similar heritability patterns in the two samples with body weight showing only a slight difference. Higher genetic influences were estimated for fasting blood glucose level in Chinese twins, whereas the Danish twins showed more genetic regulation over most lipids phenotypes. Systolic blood pressure was more genetically controlled in Danish than in Chinese twins. Conclusions : Metabolic endophenotypes show disparity in their genetic determinants in populations under distinct environmental conditions. 相似文献

The islet autoimmunity of preclinical type 1 diabetes remains poorly characterized in humans. In this paper, the IgG subclass response to the islet autoantigens insulin, glutamic acid decarboxylase, and IA-2 was studied sequentially from birth to diabetes onset or current follow-up in 26 autoantibody positive offspring of parents with diabetes. Islet autoantibody appearance was characterized by an early IgG1 peak response to one or more Ags, most commonly to insulin, at a median age of 2.2 yr (interquartile range, 2-2.9 yr). In five offspring, an acute fulminant beta-cell destruction and diabetes onset occurred during this initial Ab response. In the remainder, early Ab levels declined markedly, and Ab peaks against other beta cell Ags arose sequentially over several years suggesting regulation and spreading of autoimmunity. Second peak Ab responses to the same Ag were observed in only two offspring, both developing diabetes at this time. Two others developed diabetes with declining Ab levels. Abs of IgG1 subclass dominated against each Ag, and other subclasses, were usually only detected during peak IgG1 responses. The IgG4 response to insulin was exceptional, being dominant over IgG1 in four offspring and in five others appeared and/or persisted after IgG1 levels declined. These Th2-associated IgG4 responses were not correlated with protection from diabetes. The presence of IgG1-restricted responses to DA2 were associated with diabetes development. These findings suggest that type 1 diabetes has an early acute destructive phase of beta cell autoimmunity, which may be regulated and which spreads chronically until diabetes onset. 相似文献

The biological age difference among twins is frequently an issue in studies of genetic influence on various dental features, particularly dental development. The timing of dental development is a crucial issue also for many clinicians and researchers. The aim of this study was therefore to verify within groups of twins how dental development differs, by applying Demirjian's method, Mincer's charts of development of third molars and two of Cameriere's methods for dental age estimation, which are among the most popular methods both in the clinical and the forensic scenario. The sample consisted of 64 twin pairs: 21 monozygotic, 30 dizygotic same-sex and 13 dizygotic opposite-sex with an age range between 5.8 and 22.6 years. Dental age was determined from radiographs using the mentioned methods. Results showed that dental age of monozygotic twins is not identical even if they share all their genes. The mean intra-pair difference of monozygotic pairs was low and similar to the difference in dizygotic same-sex twins; the maximum difference between monozygotic twins, however, was surprisingly large (nearly two years). This should lead to some circumspection in the interpretation of systematic estimations of dental age both in the clinical and forensic scenario. 相似文献

The inheritance of non-insulin-dependent (type II) diabetes was studied by a continuous infusion of glucose test in all available first degree relatives of 48 diabetic probands of various ages and with differing severity of disease. In an initial study of 38 type II diabetic subjects and their first degree relatives six islet cell antibody negative patients with early onset disease (aged 25-40 at diagnosis) were found to have a particularly high familial prevalence of diabetes or glucose intolerance. Nine of 10 parents available for study either had type II diabetes or were glucose intolerant. A high prevalence of diabetes or glucose intolerance was also found in their siblings (11/16;69%). In a second study of the families of a further 10 young diabetic probands (presenting age 25-40) whose islet cell antibody state was unknown a similar high prevalence of diabetes or glucose intolerance was found among parents of the five islet cell antibody negative probands (8/9; 89%) but not among parents of the five islet cell antibody positive probands (3/8;38%). Islet cell antibody negative diabetics with early onset type II disease may have inherited a diabetogenic gene or genes from both parents. They commonly need insulin to maintain adequate glycaemic control and may develop severe diabetic complications. Early onset type II diabetes may represent a syndrome in which characteristic pedigrees, clinical severity, and absence of islet autoimmunity make it distinct from either type I diabetes, maturity onset diabetes of the young, or late onset type II diabetes. 相似文献

Pancreatic islet cell, thyroid, and gastric antibodies were studied in 116 young insulin-dependent diabetics and 257 relatives. Seventy-four per cent of the diabetics studied within three months of diagnosis had islet-cell antibodies but only 20% of those studied three years or more after diagnosis. Persistence of these antibodies was associated with a high prevalence of thyrogastric autoimmunity, which suggests that some cases have an aetiology similar to that of "polyendocrine" autoimmune disease. Retinopathy or nephropathy, or both, was present in 10 diabetics, who were all members of "autoimmune" families, in which one or more members had organ-specific antibodies. Nine of the 10 healthy relatives with islet-cell antibodies and all families with more than one diabetic were also in this autoimmune group. These data suggest that an autoimmune factor may contribute to juvenile diabetes and that such autoimmune diabetes has a tendency to run in families and may be more likely to cause complications. 相似文献
