Abstract excerpt
AIM: The mode of onset is occasionally similar in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus, and some patients with Type 2 diabetes are positive for antiglutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GAD Ab). We investigated the contribution of Type 1 diabetes susceptibility genes to the progression of the insulin-deficient state and mode of onset of Type 2 diabetes in GAD Ab-positive (GAD-Ab+) patients. We examined the...
