Key messages

  • ECL assays are high affinity autoantibody tests that are more specific than traditionally used RBA assays for the prediction of type 1 diabetes in natural history studies.
  • We analyzed RBA and ECL positivitiy with HLA genotypes and haplotypes in 603 TrialNet subjects 
  • ECL and RBA GAD autoantibody positivity is associated with both HLA DR3 and HLA DR4 haplotypes.
  • Only ECL-IAA (but not RBA-IAA) positivity and levels are associated with the HLA-DR4 haplotype
