Clinical features, Epidemiology, Autoantibody status, HLA Haplotypes and Genetic Mechanisms of Type 1 diabetes mellitus among Children in Qatar

Abstract: Aims - To describe the clinical features, epidemiology, autoantibody status, HLA haplotypes and genetic mechanisms of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods - Patients (0–18 years) with diabetes were recruited. Clinical data was collected, autoantibodies and c-peptide were measured. Whole Genome Sequencing was performed. Genomic data analysis was compared with the known genes linked with T1DM and HLA alleles were studied. Results - 1096 patients had one or more antibody positivity. The incidence of T1DM i… Show more

“…The Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase antibodies were sdetected in 90.3% of children with T1DM. This GAD65 prevalence was higher than the other studies in Saudi Arabia (84,4%) (Al-Alwan et al, 2012), Sudan (77.5%) (Mahdi et al, 2019), Qatar (59,7%) (Haris et al, 2021), and India (53%) (Vipin et al, 2021). Zinc Transporter-8 antibody prevalence in T1DM children in this study was 77,4%.…”

“…In general, 5-10% of the diabetes cases in the society are T1DM cases. The prevalence of T1DM in childhood differs between countries (regions) [3,4]. Although there are many factors that predispose children to chronic complications of diabetes, the strongest predictor of diabetes is glycemic control.…”
