Abstract
Background: There is an increased risk for childhood type 1 diabetes (T1D) when T1D and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are reported in relatives.
Objectives: Our objective was to evaluate current family risk factors for T1D development before implementing a national screening program for T1D.
Material and methods: A population of 879 Caucasian children and adolescents with T1D and 286 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. All participants completed the same questionnaire, which collected information about family history of diabetes over 3 generations. In statistical analyses, frequency tables and χ2 tests evaluated possible multicollinearity among risk factors that were significantly associated with the outcomes.
Results: Family history of diabetes was more frequent in controls (n = 75, 26.2%) than in patients with T1D (n = 146, 16.6%, odds ratio (OR) = 1.785, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.299-2.452, degrees of freedom (df) = 12.976, p = 0.004), especially with a family history of T2D (n = 62, 21.7% compared to n = 79, 9.0%, respectively, OR = 2.803, 95% CI: 1.948-4.034, df = 32.669, p < 0.001). Also, there was a tendency for the nuclear family of T1D patients to be more frequently affected by T1D (n = 74, 8.4%) than the controls (n = 15, 5.2%, OR = 1.605, 95% CI: 0.937-2.751, df = 3.081, p = 0.079). The risk of T1D was associated with the closest family members being affected and accelerated over generations. Indeed, it was highest in siblings, especially brothers (OR = 12.985, 95% CI: 0.782-215.743, Fisher's test: p < 0.001). A positive family history of T2D burden among second-degree relatives was 2.728 times more frequent in the control group than in the T1D group (OR = 2.728; 95% Cl: 1.880-3.962, p < 0.001). Furthermore, a positive family history of T1D among first-degree relatives was less frequent in the controls than in the T1D group (OR = 0.124; 95% Cl: 0.030-0.516, p = 0.004).
Conclusions: A family history of T1D, but not T2D, is a significant risk factor for T1D development. Indeed, the priority in screening for T1D should be given to first-degree relatives of T1D patients, starting from siblings.
期刊介绍：
Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been published by the Wroclaw Medical University since 1992. Establishing the medical journal was the idea of Prof. Bogumił Halawa, Chair of the Department of Cardiology, and was fully supported by the Rector of Wroclaw Medical University, Prof. Zbigniew Knapik. Prof. Halawa was also the first editor-in-chief, between 1992-1997. The journal, then entitled "Postępy Medycyny Klinicznej i Doświadczalnej", appeared quarterly.
Prof. Leszek Paradowski was editor-in-chief from 1997-1999. In 1998 he initiated alterations in the profile and cover design of the journal which were accepted by the Editorial Board. The title was changed to Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine. Articles in English were welcomed. A number of outstanding representatives of medical science from Poland and abroad were invited to participate in the newly established International Editorial Staff.
Prof. Antonina Harłozińska-Szmyrka was editor-in-chief in years 2000-2005, in years 2006-2007 once again prof. Leszek Paradowski and prof. Maria Podolak-Dawidziak was editor-in-chief in years 2008-2016. Since 2017 the editor-in chief is prof. Maciej Bagłaj.
Since July 2005, original papers have been published only in English. Case reports are no longer accepted. The manuscripts are reviewed by two independent reviewers and a statistical reviewer, and English texts are proofread by a native speaker.
The journal has been indexed in several databases: Scopus, Ulrich’sTM International Periodicals Directory, Index Copernicus and since 2007 in Thomson Reuters databases: Science Citation Index Expanded i Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition.
In 2010 the journal obtained Impact Factor which is now 1.179 pts. Articles published in the journal are worth 15 points among Polish journals according to the Polish Committee for Scientific Research and 169.43 points according to the Index Copernicus.
Since November 7, 2012, Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been indexed and included in National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE database. English abstracts printed in the journal are included and searchable using PubMed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed.
