Screening for autoimmune type 1 diabetes using autoantibodies

Early screening for type 1 diabetes autoantibodies enables the identification of individuals at risk before symptoms appear, allowing for timely intervention and disease management.1 Anti-islet autoantibodies that target proteins associated with beta-cells serve as biomarkers of autoimmune type 1 diabetes (autoimmune T1D) development.2 The number of detectable autoantibodies through screening correlates with the risk of developing autoimmune T1D.2 Assays for detecting autoimmune T1D have shown high sensitivity and specificity.3

The role of antibodies and autoantibodies in autoimmune type 1 diabetes

B cells produce autoantibodies against pancreatic islet cells months and even up to years before the onset of clinically relevant symptoms of autoimmune type 1 diabetes (autoimmune T1D), providing an opportunity for early detection and potential prevention of autoimmune T1D onset.1-2 These type 1 diabetes (T1D) autoantibodies serve as important biomarkers for the development and progression of autoimmune T1D.1
