Abstract
Objective: We aimed to clarify the association of various HLA risk alleles with different types of autoantibodies initiating islet specific autoimmunity.
Methods: Follow-up cohorts from the Finnish Type 1 Diabetes Prediction and Prevention (DIPP) study and children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) from the Finnish Pediatric Diabetes Register (FPDR) were analyzed for the presence of autoantibodies to insulin (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA), IA-2 antigen (IA-2A), and zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8A); and genotyped for HLA DR/DQ alleles. In the DIPP study, autoantibodies were regularly analyzed from birth up to 15 years of age.
Results: In the DIPP cohort, 621 children developed one single persistent autoantibody, GADA in 284, IAA in 268, and IA-2A in 40 cases. Highly significant differences in the specificity of the first autoantibody were observed between HLA genotypes. Homozygotes for the DR3-DQ2 haplotype had almost exclusively GADA as the first autoantibody, whereas a more even distribution between GADA and IAA was found in DR3-DQ2/DR4-DQ8 as well as DR3-DQ/x and DR4-DQ8/x genotypes (x referring to neutral haplotypes). In DR4-DQ8 positive genotypes with the DRB1*04:01 allele IAA was more often the first autoantibody than in DRB1*04:04 positive genotypes. Various neutral haplotypes also significantly affected the relative proportions of different initial autoantibodies. These findings were confirmed and expanded in a series of 1591 T1D children under the age of 10 years from FPDR.
Conclusions: These results emphasize the importance of HLA class II polymorphisms in the recognition of autoantigen epitopes in the initiation of various pathways of the autoimmune response.
