One hundred and sixty-six unrelated children and adolescents having growth-onset, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDD) were studied for pancreatic-cytoplasmic islet cell antibodies (ICA) at various times from the diagnosis of the disease. A strong association between HLA antigens A9 and Bw16 and an absence of ICA early in the course of disease was seen. On the other hand B8/Dw3 or B15/Dw4 antigens were not significantly associated with the occurrence of ICA although both these antigens are greatly increased among pediatric IDD patients in northern Finland. The finding of the association of the HLA antigens A9 and Bw16 with ICA-negativity contributes to the evidence for the heterogeneity in the genetic susceptibility to IDD.
对166名患有生长型胰岛素依赖型糖尿病(IDD)的非亲属儿童和青少年在疾病诊断后的不同时间进行了胰岛细胞质胰岛细胞抗体(ICA)研究。研究发现,HLA抗原A9和Bw16与疾病早期ICA缺失之间存在强关联。另一方面,尽管在芬兰北部的儿童IDD患者中,B8/Dw3或B15/Dw4抗原的比例大幅增加,但它们与ICA的发生并无显著关联。HLA抗原A9和Bw16与ICA阴性的关联这一发现,为IDD遗传易感性的异质性提供了证据。
