RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We performed T1D association and fine-mapping analyses in 12,316 non-DR3/DR4 samples. Next, we performed heterogeneity tests to examine differences in T1D risk variants in individuals without versus those with DR3/DR4 haplotypes. We further assessed genome-wide differences in gene regulatory element and biological pathway enrichments between the non-DR3/DR4 and DR3/DR4 cohorts. Finally, we developed a genetic risk score (GRS) to predict T1D in individuals without DR3/DR4 and compared with an existing T1D GRS. RESULTS A total of 18 T1D risk variants in non-DR3/DR4 samples were identified. Risk variants at the MHC and multiple other loci genome wide had heterogeneity in effects on T1D dependent on DR3/DR4 status, and non-DR3/DR4 T1D had evidence for a greater polygenic burden. T1D-assocated variants in non-DR3/DR4 were more enriched for regulatory elements and pathways involved in antigen presentation, innate immunity, and β-cells and depleted in T cells compared with DR3/DR4. A non-DR3/DR4 GRS outperformed an existing risk score GRS2 in discriminating non-DR3/DR4 T1D from no diabetes (area under the curve 0.867; P = 7.48 × 10−32) and type 2 diabetes (0.907; P = 4.94 × 10−44). CONCLUSIONS In total, we identified heterogeneity in T1D genetic risk dependent on high-risk HLA-DR3/DR4 haplotype, which uncovers disease mechanisms and enables more accurate prediction of T1D across the HLA background.","PeriodicalId":11140,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Care","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142763244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the accuracy of the Dexcom G6 CGM system in pediatric patients with diabetes admitted to our academic children’s hospital from March 2018 to September 2023. We cross-referenced the Dexcom Clarity database against an internal database of inpatient admissions to identify all children with CGM data admitted to the hospital. We recorded sensor glucose readings from Clarity and values for point-of-care (POC) glucose, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and pH from the electronic medical record. CGM accuracy and clinical reliability were measured by mean absolute relative difference (MARD) and Clarke error grid (CEG) analyses. RESULTS There were 3,200 admissions of children with diabetes in this period, of which 277 (from 202 patients age 2–18 years) had associated CGM data. Paired CGM and POC measurements (n = 2,904) were compared, resulting in an MARD of 15.9%, with 96.6% of the values in zones A and B of the CEG analysis. Approximately 62% of paired values fell within a 15% or 15 mg/dL difference, whichever was larger (15%/15 mg/dL range), 74% within 20%/20, and 88% within 30%/30.

AGEs represent a potential target to prevent or treat diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN). The current study aimed to characterize cutaneous carbonyl stress, oxidative stress, immune cells, and endothelial cell damage in early type 2 diabetes compared with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) using novel cutaneous biomarkers. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Included were 160 individuals recently (≤12 months) diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and 144 with NGT from the German Diabetes Study baseline cohort. Nerve function was assessed using electrophysiological, quantitative sensory, and clinical testing. Skin biopsies were obtained to analyze intraepidermal nerve fiber density, AGEs autofluorescence, argpyrimidine area, and endothelial cell area. In addition, skin autofluorescence was measured noninvasively using the AGE reader. A subgroup with type 2 diabetes (n = 80) was reassessed 5 years later. RESULTS After adjustment for sex, age, HbA1c, LDL cholesterol, and BMI, argpyrimidine area (17.5 ± 18.8 vs. 11.7 ± 12.7%) was higher in recent-onset type 2 diabetes than in NGT (P < 0.05). AGEs autofluorescence was inversely correlated with nerve conduction (e.g., peroneal motor nerve conduction velocity: r = −0.346) and positively with AGE reader measurements in type 2 diabetes (r = 0.358, all P < 0.05), but not in NGT. Higher baseline AGEs autofluorescence and lower endothelial cell area predicted the deterioration of clinical and neurophysiological measures after 5 years.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Exenatide Study of Cardiovascular Event Lowering (EXSCEL) was a randomized clinical trial evaluating the cardiovascular (CV) safety and efficacy of once-weekly exenatide for patients with T2D. Candidate biomarker data were selected from proteomic profiling performed at baseline and 12 months after randomization samples by SomaScan assay in 5,473 trial participants. The primary composite outcome was the first occurrence of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke (major cardiovascular events [MACE]). Cox proportional hazards models controlling for confounders were used for time-to-event analyses to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CI for a 1 SD increase in the biomarker concentrations. RESULTS The primary outcome occurred in 813 participants (14.9%). Higher levels of osteoprotegerin (HR 1.11; 95% CI 1.03–1.20; P = 0.0047) and osteopontin (HR 1.10; 95% CI 1.02–1.18; P = 0.0095) were associated with an increased risk of MACE. The addition of osteoprotegerin and osteopontin to a clinical predictive model containing traditional CV risk factors provided minimal incremental value for MACE prediction (C-index 0.629 vs. 0.638; likelihood ratio test P < 0.001). Osteocalcin and sclerostin were not associated with MACE. Osteocalcin had a nonlinear association with all-cause death and with CV death.

We sought to define the relationship of longitudinal IR with radiographic imaging outcomes and examiner-identified incident lung disease in the Framingham Offspring Study. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Participants without baseline lung disease underwent repeated measurements of fasting insulin and glucose levels over an average period of 13.6 years, from which time-weighted average HOMA-IR was calculated. Each participant then underwent a cardiac gated whole-lung computed tomography scan, which was analyzed for the presence of emphysema, interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs), and quantitative airway features. Incident lung disease was determined by a study examiner. The relationship of HOMA-IR to these outcomes was estimated in models adjusted for demographics, BMI, and lifetime smoking. RESULTS A total of 875 participants with longitudinal IR data and outcomes were identified. Their mean age was 51.5 years, and BMI was 26.7 kg/m2. HOMA-IR was temporally unstable, with a within-person SD approximately two-thirds of the between-person SD. In adjusted models, a 1 SD increase in log(HOMA-IR) z score was associated with higher odds of qualitative emphysema (odds ratio [OR] 1.33; 95% CI 1.04–1.70), ILAs (OR 1.35; 95% CI 1.05–1.74), and modest increases in airway wall thickness and wall area percentage.

We assessed direct medical costs for the year before the NDPP enrollment/index date and for 2 years thereafter; EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) utility scores at baseline, 1 year, and 2 years; and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) over 2 years. We used propensity score weighting to adjust for potential bias due to self-selection for enrollment, multiple imputation to handle missing data, and bootstrapping to produce CIs. We adopted a health care sector perspective and discounted costs and QALYs at 3% annually. Costs were expressed in 2020 U.S. dollars. RESULTS Compared with nonenrollees, each NDPP enrollee had an average reduction of $4,552 (95% CI −13,231, 2,014) in 2-year total direct medical costs.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We included 4,551 individuals with 19,593 medical visits from two open cohorts in Taiwan and Hong Kong between 2000 and 2018. Ambient PM2.5 exposure was assessed using a satellite-based model, delivering a 2-year average exposure at a resolution of 1 km2. Logistic mixed-effects models were used to investigate longitudinal associations between PM2.5 exposure and the prevalence of prediabetes/diabetes. Life course models were used to examine the impact of PM2.5 exposure at different life stages on prediabetes/diabetes in adulthood. RESULTS Over an average follow-up period of 9.93 years, 1,660 individuals with prediabetes/diabetes were observed. For the longitudinal association, every 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 was associated with an increased odds of having prediabetes/diabetes (odds ratio 1.32, 95% CI 1.13, 1.54).
