The absence of islet autoantibodies in clinically diagnosed older-adult onset type 1 diabetes suggests an alternative pathology, advocating for routine testing in this age group

Abstract
Objective Islet autoantibodies at diagnosis are not well studied in older-adult onset (>30years) type 1 diabetes due to difficulties of accurate diagnosis. We used a type 1 diabetes genetic risk score (T1DGRS) to identify type 1 diabetes aiming to evaluate the prevalence and pattern of autoantibodies in older-adult onset type 1 diabetes. Methods We used a 30 variant T1DGRS in 1866 white-European individuals to genetically confirm a clinical...
