This study aimed to investigate whether carboxypeptidase-H antibody (CPH-Ab) can help identify latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). Phenotypic type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients (n= 1296) were studied for CPH Abs and autoantibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD-Abs). CPH-Ab(+) T2D patients also underwent testing for insulinoma protein tyrosine phosphatase (IA-2A). Clinical features were compared among...
