Clinical features, biochemistry and HLA-DRB1 status in youth-onset type 1 diabetes in Pakistan

Abstract: Published information on diabetes in Pakistani youth is limited. We aimed to investigate the demographic, clinical, and biochemical features, and HLA-DRB1 alleles in new cases of diabetes affecting children and adolescents <22 years of age. The study was conducted at Baqai Institute of Diabetology and Endocrinology in Karachi from June 2013-December 2015. One hundred subjects aged <22 years at diagnosis were enrolled. Demographic characteristics, clinical information, biochemical parameters (blood glucose, HbA… Show more

“…For example, HLA-DRB1*03 and HLA-DRB1*04, both previously associated with LADA [ 28 ], also confer an increased risk for ulcerative colitis (OR = 3.6) and Crohn’s disease (OR = 3.9), respectively [ 29 ]. HLA-DRB1*03:01 was associated with the development of type 1 diabetes of the youth in a Pakistani population [ 30 ] and is also associated with increased susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus with the production of anti-Ro and anti-La antibodies [ 31 ]. Some of these alleles have been described in patients with ICI-induced IDDM in other studies [ 16 , 17 ].…”

“…This was highlighted by the association of DRB1*03:01:01∼DQB1*02:01 and DRB1*04:01:01∼DQB1*03:02 haplotypes with increased susceptibility to T1D among Bahraini Arabs ( Al-Jenaidi et al, 2005 ). As the frequencies of HLA alleles, haplotypes, and genotypes show considerable population and ethnic differences, population studies confirmed that the relationship of HLA with T1D also varies according to the geographical location and ethnic background ( Al-Jenaidi et al, 2005 ; Ahmadov et al, 2018 ; Fawwad et al, 2019 ; Zabeen et al, 2019 ). Compared to numerous studies performed on European populations, limited numbers of studies have been conducted on populations in the Middle East-North Africa (MENA) region ( Al-Jenaidi et al, 2005 ; Noble et al, 2013 ).…”

“…The duration of study was between December 30, 2013 to December 23, 2015, and was an additional investigation from the main study "Epidemiology of youth-onset T1DM in Pakistan: clinical features, biochemistry and HLA-DRB1". 11 Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of BIDE with Ref no: BIDE/IRB/Prof.Yakoob/03/27/13/119. Written informed consent was obtained for subjects >18 years prior to enrolment in the study, and for subjects <18 years, their parents/guardians gave written informed consent.…”
