Objectives: Maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated with a reduced risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the offspring. We investigated whether this association is consistent with a causal interpretation by accounting for familial (shared genetic and environmental) factors using family-based, quasi-experimental designs. Design: A nationwide, prospective cohort study and a nested case-control study (quasi-experiment) comparing children with T1D to their age-matched siblings (or cousins). Setting: Swedish national registers. Participants: We included 2,995,321 children born in Sweden between 1983 and 2014. Exposure: Information on maternal smoking during pregnancy was retrieved from the Swedish Medical Birth Register. Main outcome measures: Children were followed for a diagnosis of T1D until 2020 through the National Patient, Diabetes and Prescribed Drug Registers. Results: A total of 18,617 children developed T1D, with a median age at diagnosis of 9.4 years. The sibling and cousin comparison design included 14,284 and 7,988 of these children, respectively. Maternal smoking during pregnancy was associated with a 22% lower risk of offspring T1D in the full cohort (hazard ratio: 0.78, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.75 to 0.82) in the multivariable-adjusted model. The corresponding odds ratio was 0.78 (95% CI: 0.69 to 0.88) in the sibling and 0.72 (95% CI: 0.66 to 0.79) in the cousin comparison analysis. Conclusions: This nationwide, family-based study provides support for a protective effect of maternal smoking on offspring T1D. Mechanistic studies are needed to elucidate the underlying pathways behind this link.

AbstractThe molecular association of HLA class II with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) was investigated in Tunisian Arabs using 3 kinds of analyses. The first was a case-control association study, using Relative Predispositional Effects method, involved 137 T1DM cases and 258 control subjects. The second was family-based association-linkage study, using Transmission Disequilibrium Test, and covering 50 Tunisian families comprising 73 T1DM patients and 100 parents. The third was a wide correlation study between 4 DRB1 alleles (DRB1*03, *04, *11, *15) and T1DM in 52 countries, using Spearman’s Rho. Results from Case-control and family-based association studies showed that DRB1*03 and DRB1*04 alleles predispose to T1DM in Tunisian Arabs. Conversely, only DRB1*11 was protective for T1DM. DRB1*04-DQB1*03 haplotype was consistently associated positively with T1DM; DRB1*03/DRB1*04 genotype had the highest risk of T1DM development. Compared to DRB1*03, HLA-DRB1*04 was associated with higher T1DM incidence. Thus, the contribution of HLA class II to T1DM genetic susceptibility must be evaluated with regards to specific HLA alleles, genotypes, and haplotypes, and also ethnic and racial background.

Abstract Objective Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are autoimmune diseases. It is known that certain genetic loci and factors that increase the overall autoimmunity risk can be shared among different autoimmune diseases. We sought to replicate seven T1D-related SNPs that have been previously reported to be associated with RA susceptibility in a small set of mixed family-based and case-control Pakistani sample in a relatively large and independent RA case-control sample from the same population. Seven T1D-associted SNPs (GLIS3/rs7020673, BACH2/rs11755527, SKAP2/rs7804356, GDSMB/rs2290400, C6orf173/rs9388489, LOC399716/rs947474 and DLK1-MEG2/rs941576) were genotyped in a large Pakistani RA case-control sample (n=1,959) using TaqMan® SNP genotyping assays. Results None of the tested SNPs showed statistically significant association with RA susceptibility; however, one SNP (GLIS3/rs7020673) showed a trend for association (OR= 0.88, p=7.99E-02). Our study has failed to replicate the previously reported association of seven T1D-associted SNPs with RA risk in a large sample from the same population. Thus, our results do not support a major role of these T1D SNPs in affecting RA susceptibility in the Pakistani population.
