Autoimmune Diabetes: Markers of the Disease and Treatment of Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA)

NCT01148238 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2012-12-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Autoimmunity is the main cause of diabetes type 1 and an important factor as cause of Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA). Recently, research has found that being deficient of T-reg cells is an important cause of autoimmunity. The study hypothesis are:

1. Patients with newly found diabetes type 1 have less T-reg than healthy.
2. Patients with newly found diabetes type 1 have less T-reg than patients with long duration of the illness.
3. The number of T-reg is negative associated with HLA-risk-haplotype.
4. The number of T-reg is negative associated with LADA.
5. Differences relating to inflammatory cytokines will be seen among patients with newly found diabetes type 1, but not among others.
