The dynamic changes of zinc transporter 8 autoantibodies in Czech children from the onset of Type 1 diabetes mellitus

Abstract: A ZnT8 autoantibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed 72% disease sensitivity and 99% specificity at Type 1 diabetes onset. Measurements of ZnT8 autoantibodies are important for Type 1 diabetes diagnosis and should be included in the panel of autoantibodies tested at the onset of Type 1 diabetes.

“…Beta‐cell destruction in T1DM is immune‐mediated; thus, measurement of autoantibodies levels provides information relevant for the disease diagnosis and monitoring. In agreement with previous observations, we noted that levels of all autoantibodies decreased linearly in T1DM patients during follow‐up …”

“…In agreement with previous observations, we noted that levels of all autoantibodies decreased linearly in T1DM patients during follow-up. 28,29 A gradual decline in pancreatic beta-cell function and mass in T1DM results in insufficient insulin production with consequent hyperglycemia. 1 As the rate of decline in insulin secretion varies significantly between individuals, 15 insight into changes in beta-cell mass and ongoing insulitis in living subjects with T1DM would be highly desirable.…”

“…Subjects with the neutral DR13-DQB1*0604 haplotype tested more frequently positive for ZnT8 Ab than the rest of the population (p < 0.001) [26]. The frequency of ZnT8 Ab may be related to some HLA differences, and be similar in similar populations, as in the study of Polish neighbours, Czech T1DM children, the prevalence of this Ab was similar to our results [18]. Interestingly, in Chinese T1D subject ZnT8 Ab and IA-2 Ab were less prevalent than in Caucasian populations, but similar to Japanese [27].…”
