          Abstract

          OBJECTIVE

          Young children have an unacceptably high prevalence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at the clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. The aim of this study was to determine whether knowledge of genetic risk and close follow-up for development of islet autoantibodies through participation in The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study results in lower prevalence of DKA at diabetes onset in children aged <2 and <5 years compared with population-based incidence studies and registries.

          RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

          Symptoms and laboratory data collected on TEDDY participants diagnosed with type 1 diabetes between 2004 and 2010 were compared with data collected during the similar periods from studies and registries in all TEDDY-participating countries (U.S., SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study; Sweden, Swediabkids; Finland, Finnish Pediatric Diabetes Register; and Germany, Diabetes Patienten Verlaufsdokumenation [DPV] Register).

          RESULTS

          A total of 40 children younger than age 2 years and 79 children younger than age 5 years were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in TEDDY as of December 2010. In children <2 years of age at onset, DKA prevalence in TEDDY participants was significantly lower than in all comparative registries (German DPV Register, P < 0.0001; Swediabkids, P = 0.02; SEARCH, P < 0.0001; Finnish Register, P < 0.0001). The prevalence of DKA in TEDDY children diagnosed at <5 years of age (13.1%) was significantly lower compared with SEARCH (36.4%) ( P < 0.0001) and the German DPV Register (32.2%) ( P < 0.0001) but not compared with Swediabkids or the Finnish Register.

          CONCLUSIONS

          Participation in the TEDDY study is associated with reduced risk of DKA at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in young children.

          The rise of childhood type 1 diabetes in the 20th century.

          E. Gale (2002)
          The incidence of childhood type 1 diabetes increased worldwide in the closing decades of the 20th century, but the origins of this increase are poorly documented. A search through the early literature revealed a number of useful but neglected sources, particularly in Scandinavia. While these do not meet the exacting standards of more recent surveys, tentative conclusions can be drawn concerning long-term changes in the demography of the disease. Childhood type 1 diabetes was rare but well recognized before the introduction of insulin. Low incidence and prevalence rates were recorded in several countries over the period 1920-1950, and one carefully performed study showed no change in childhood incidence over the period 1925-1955. An almost simultaneous upturn was documented in several countries around the mid-century. The overall pattern since then is one of linear increase, with evidence of a plateau in some high-incidence populations and of a catch-up phenomenon in some low-incidence areas. Steep rises in the age-group under 5 years have been recorded recently. The disease process underlying type 1 diabetes has changed over time and continues to evolve. Understanding why and how this produced the pandemic of childhood diabetes would be an important step toward reversing it.

            Newborn screening for HLA markers associated with IDDM: diabetes autoimmunity study in the young (DAISY).

            Autoimmunity causing insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) begins in early childhood due to interactions between genes and unknown environmental factors that may be identified through follow-up of a large cohort of genetically susceptible children. Such a cohort has been established using a simple and rapid cord blood screening for HLA alleles. The DRB1 and DQB1 second exon sequences were co-amplified using the polymerase chain reaction and hybridized with single and pooled sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes. Four individual probes were used to detect the susceptibility alleles DRB1*03, DRB1*04, and DQB1*0302 as well as the usually protective DRB1*15/16 (DR2) alleles. In addition, pooled probes allow the distinction of DR3/3 from the DR3/x genotype (where x is neither DR2, 3, nor 4) and DR4/4 from DR4/x. Among 5000 newborns from the general Denver population, we have found the high-risk genotype (DRB1*03/ DRB1*04, DQB1*0302) to be present in 2.4% of non-Hispanic whites, 2.8% of Hispanics, and 1.6% of African Americans. The moderate-risk genotypes (DRB1*04, DQB1*0302/DRB1*04, DQB1*0302, DRB1*04, DQB1*0302/x, or DRB1*03/DRB1*03) are present in 17% of American non-Hispanic whites, 24% of Hispanics and in 10% of African Americans. These results demonstrate the feasibility of a large-scale newborn screening for genes associated with IDDM. The ultimate role for such a screening in future routine prediction and prevention of IDDM will depend on the availability of an effective and acceptable form of clinical intervention.

              The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) Study.

              (2008)
              The etiology of type 1 diabetes (T1D) remains unknown, but a growing body of evidence points to infectious agents and/or components of early childhood diet. The National Institutes of Health has established the TEDDY Study consortium of six clinical centers in the United States and Europe and a data coordinating center to identify environmental factors predisposing to, or protective against, islet autoimmunity and T1D. From 2004-2009, TEDDY will screen more than 360,000 newborns from both the general population and families already affected by T1D to identify an estimated 17,804 children with high-risk HLA-DR,DQ genotypes. Of those, 7,801 (788 first-degree relatives and 7,013 newborns with no family history of T1D) will be enrolled in prospective follow-up beginning before the age of 4.5 months. As of May 2008, TEDDY has screened more than 250,000 newborns and enrolled nearly 5,000 infants--approximately 70% of the final cohort. Participants are seen every 3 months up to 4 years of age, with subsequent visits every 6 months until the subject is 15 years of age. Blood samples are collected at each visit for detection of candidate infectious agents and nutritional biomarkers; monthly stool samples are collected for infectious agents. These samples are saved in a central repository. Primary endpoints include (1) appearance of one or more islet autoantibodies (to insulin, GAD65 or IA-2) confirmed at two consecutive visits; (2) development of T1D. By age 15, an estimated 800 children will develop islet autoimmunity and 400 will progress to T1D; 67 and 27 children have already reached these endpoints.
