Abstract

Objective: To examine sex differences in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1D) with respect to age at diagnosis, presence of autoantibodies (GAD antibody [GADA], insulinoma-associated protein 2 [IA-2A], insulin autoantibody [IAA], and zinc transporter 8 autoantibody), and HLA risk.

Research design and methods: A population-based nationwide sample of 3,645 Swedish children at T1D diagnosis was used.

Results: Girls were younger at T1D diagnosis (9.53 vs. 10.23 years; P < 0.001), more likely to be autoantibody-positive (94.7% vs. 92.0%; P = 0.002), more often positive for multiple autoantibodies (P < 0.001), more likely to be positive for GADA (64.9% vs. 49.0%; P < 0.001), and less likely to be positive for IAA (32.3% vs. 33.8%; P = 0.016). Small sex differences in HLA risk were found in children <9 years of age.

Conclusions: The disease mechanisms leading to T1D may influence the immune system differently in girls and boys.

1型糖尿病儿童诊断年龄、HLA基因型和自身抗体谱的性别差异。

目的：研究新诊断的1型糖尿病（T1D）儿童在诊断时的年龄、自身抗体（GAD抗体〔GADA〕、胰岛素瘤相关蛋白2〔IA-2A〕、胰岛素自身抗体〔IAA〕和锌转运蛋白8自身抗体）的存在以及HLA风险方面的性别差异。研究设计和方法：采用基于人群的全国范围内3645名诊断为T1D的瑞典儿童样本。结果：女孩在T1D诊断时更年轻（9.53岁对10.23岁；P<0.001），更容易出现自身抗体阳性（94.7%对92.0%；P=0.002），更经常出现多种自身抗体阳性的情况（P<0.001）、更可能出现GADA阳性（64.9%对49.0%；P=0.001），IAA阳性的可能性较小（32.3%vs.33.8%；P=0.016）。儿童HLA风险的性别差异较小。结论：导致T1D的疾病机制可能对女孩和男孩的免疫系统产生不同的影响。
