Abstract

Aims/hypothesis

Associations have been described between higher birthweight and increased risk of type 1 diabetes, and of insulin (INS) and human leucocyte antigen (HLA) genotypes that protect against diabetes with larger size at birth. We studied simultaneously the effects of size at birth, INS and HLA genotypes on the risk of type 1 diabetes to test whether the relation between size at birth and risk of type 1 diabetes would be strengthened after adjustment for INS and HLA genotypes.

Subjects and methods

We designed a population-based case–control study in Norway with 471 cases of childhood-onset type 1 diabetes and 1,369 control subjects who were genotyped for the INS -23HphI polymorphism (surrogate for INS variable number of tandem repeats) and HLA-DQ alleles associated with type 1 diabetes. Data on birthweight and other perinatal factors were obtained from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway by record linkage.

Results

The data fitted a multiplicative model for the protective INS class III allele both within the INS locus and for the model with INS- and HLA-DQ-conferred risk of type 1 diabetes. We found no overall significant association between weight or head circumference at birth and the risk of type 1 diabetes, and adjustment for INS and HLA genotype did not influence this result. There was also no evidence for association of INS or HLA with size at birth among control subjects.

Conclusions/interpretation

In contrast to suggestions from previous indirect studies, direct adjustment for INS and HLA genotypes did not lead to a stronger relation between birthweight and the risk of type 1 diabetes.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
