Transglutaminase antibodies and celiac disease in children with type 1 diabetes and in their family members

Abstract: The children with double diagnosis differed from those with diabetes alone in HLA genetics, humoral islet autoimmunity directed against fewer antigens, and in the lack of usual female preponderance among CD patients. Compared with 61% of the anti-tTG positive relatives, only 36% of anti-tTG positive index children developed CD implicating transient anti-tTG positivity at diagnosis of T1D.

“…Finally, remission was more frequent among children with another autoimmune disease (thyroid or coeliac disease) present at T1D onset. The prevalence of thyroid or tissue transglutaminase autoimmunity seems to be similar to that reported in other recent publications . This finding may be surprising, but could be explained by the fact, that children with another disease remain already under medical care, and maybe these patients are diagnosed with T1D earlier, in a better condition, and with a larger amount of beta‐cells remaining.…”

“…The prevalence of thyroid or tissue transglutaminase autoimmunity seems to be similar to that reported in other recent publications. 22,23 This finding may be surprising, but could be explained by the fact, that children with another disease remain already under medical care, and maybe these patients are diagnosed with T1D earlier, in a better condition, and with a larger amount of beta-cells remaining. On the other hand, the diagnosis of a concomitant autoimmune disease preceding T1D onset points to a multiple involvement of the immune system.…”

“…Data on family history of AIDs in first- and second-degree relatives at diagnosis of the index child was attained through questionnaires [ 19 ]. For a subset of cases, additional information on AIDs within the family was compiled when a new family member was diagnosed with diabetes and registered (n = 42), or when 40% of the children (n = 710) were included in a study with a search for autoimmune thyroid disease and screening for celiac autoimmunity [ 21 ]. For the analysis of phenotype-genotype associations, the cases were grouped into phenotype categories according to the history of AIDs ( Fig 1 ): First, the children who themselves had another AID in addition to T1D, and second, the children coming from families with multiple AIDs (autoimmune families).…”

“…Educational materials for patients and families should be made available. The prevalence of celiac disease is increased among first‐degree relatives of children with type 1 diabetes, particularly in mothers, and consequently family members of a child with newly diagnosed celiac disease should also be screened for tTG …”
