The risk of progression to IDDM can be evaluated by diabetes-related autoantibodies such as cytoplasmic islet cell antibodies (ICA) or genetic determinants as markers. In this prospective study we wanted to estimate the predictive value of the combination of these markers in siblings of diabetic children. A sample of 770 siblings was observed from the time of diagnosis in the index case for a median period of 5.8...
