In this review, we summarize the clinical data addressing a potential role for gluten in multiple sclerosis (MS), psoriasis, type 1 diabetes (T1D) and autoimmune thyroid diseases (ATDs). Furthermore, data on the prevalence of celiac disease (CD) and gluten-related antibodies in the above patient groups are presented. Adequately powered and properly controlled intervention trials investigating the effects of a gluten-free diet (GFD) in non-celiac patients with MS, psoriasis, T1D or ATDs are lacking. Only one clinical trial has studied the effects of a GFD among patients with MS. The trial found significant results, but it is subject to major methodological limitations. A few publications have found beneficial effects of a GFD in a subgroup of patients with psoriasis that were seropositive for anti-gliadin or deamidated gliadin antibodies, but no effects were seen among seronegative patients. Studies on the role of gluten in T1D are contradictive, however, it seems likely that a GFD may contribute to normalizing metabolic control without affecting levels of islet autoantibodies. Lastly, the effects of a GFD in non-celiac patients with ATDs have not been studied yet, but some publications report that thyroid-related antibodies respond to a GFD in patients with concomitant CD and ATDs. Overall, there is currently not enough evidence to recommend a GFD to non-celiac patients with MS, psoriasis, ATDs or T1D.

Abstract Background Zinc transporter 8 autoantibodies (ZnT8Abs) together with glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies (GADAbs), insulinoma antigen 2 autoantibodies (IA-2Abs) and insulin autoantibodies (IAbs) are markers of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). We studied the prevalence of ZnT8Ab in children with autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) to assess the association of AITDs and T1DM at the serological level. Methods The study groups consisted of 44 children with Graves’ disease (GD), 65 children with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), 199 children with T1DM with or without AITDs and 58 control children. ZnT8Ab, GADAb, IA-2Ab, IAb, 21-hydroxylase autoantibodies (21-OHAbs) and acetylcholine receptor autoantibodies (AChRAbs) were measured. Results ZnT8Abs were found in 4/44 (9.1%) patients with GD, and 4/44 (9.1%) patients with GD were positive for GADAb. Of the 65 HT patients, six (9.2%) were positive for ZnT8Ab, while four (6.2%) were positive for GADAb. In the T1DM group, 128/199 (64%) of the patients were positive for ZnT8Ab, 133/199 (67%) for GADAb and 109/199 (55%) for IA-2Ab. One GD patient and one HT patient were positive for all the four diabetes-associated autoantibodies. Two HT patients were positive for three diabetes autoantibodies. Two GD (4.5%) and five HT (7.7%) patients were positive for 21-OHAb only. None of the patients had AChRAb. In the control group, 2/58 (3.4%) were positive for GADAb and 2/58 (3.4%) were positive for ZnT8Ab. Conclusions Diabetes-associated autoantibodies including ZnT8Ab were found in children and adolescents with GD and HT.

At present, four main types of autoimmune polyglandular syndromes (APS) are distinguished. Type 1 APS is associated with candidiasis, primary hypoparathyroidism, and primary adrenal insufficiency developing in the childhood as a result of mutations in the AIRE gene. Type 2 APS involves primary adrenal insufficiency in combination with autoimmune thyroid diseases and/or type 1 diabetes mellitus. Type 3 APS is characterized by the combination of autoimmune thyroid diseases with other endocrine and non-endocrine autoimmune pathologies in the absence of adrenal cortical dysfunction and hypoparathyriodism. Type 4 APS is presented by the combinations of autoimmune diseases other than the aforementioned ones. The above syndromes usually manifest themselves at the age between 20 and 60 years; they are of the polygenic type and associated with the genetic markers, such as HLAII-complex haplotypes, CTLA-4, PTPN22, FOXP3 genes, etc. In addition, the latent forms of APS have been described that occur in the populations much more frequently than the manifest disorders. These latent diseases can exert strong influence on the compensation and risk of complications of the underlying pathology. Of great importance in this context is the timely identification of the groups of patients at risk of developing clinical forms of APS among the subjects presenting with a single endocrine pathology.

Abstract Introduction: The etiology of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs), such as Graves’ disease (GD) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), is largely unknown. However, genetic susceptibility is believed to play a major role. Recently, a case-control association study performed in Croatia showed a significant association of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs11675434 near thyroid peroxidase (TPO) with HT, and also with thyroid autoantibodies against TPO (TPOAb) levels. High TPOAb levels are present in 90% of patients with HT and serve as a clinical marker for the detection of early AITD/HT. Therefore, we conducted a case-control study to determine the genetic association of the rs11675434 near TPO with AITD in a cohort of the Japanese population. Methods: We genotyped the rs11675434 near TPO in 457 Japanese patients with AITD (286 with GD, 171 with HT) and 242 matched Japanese control subjects. The SNP was analyzed using TaqMan probe method, and association study was performed using the χ 2 and Fisher’s exact tests with Yates correction. Results: Both GD and HT showed no significant associations. Moreover, when patients with GD were stratified according to Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) (n=96), there were no allelic associations with GO, although there were weak associations between GO and controls (P=0.0494, Odds ratios (ORs)=0.3102). Conclusions: Our finding suggest that the rs11675434 near TPO may not contribute to the risk of AITD in the Japanese population, although the study was in insufficient and underpowered sample size.

Background and objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the correlation of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) with the occurrence of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Materials and Methods: The inclusion criteria for the study were: type 1 diabetes diagnosed on the basis of WHO criteria lasting at least a year, presence of AITD for at least a year, and age over 18 years. The control group consisted of patients without diagnosed AITD (DM1noAITD), selected according to age, BMI and DM1 duration. Anthropometric parameters, metabolic risk factors such as glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipids and blood pressure, thyroid status and the presence of DR were assessed. Results: The study involved 200 patients with type 1 diabetes aged 36 ± 12 years, 70 men and 130 women. Patients from the study group (DM1AITD) had significantly lower creatinine concentration, significantly lower systolic blood pressure (SBP), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) percentage and triglyceride (TG) concentration, and higher high-density lipoprotein (HDL-cholesterol) concentration than the control group (DM1noAITD). There was a significantly lower chance of non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) among DM1AITD than in the control group. Conclusions: Patients with DM1 and AITD were metabolically better balanced, as evidenced by a significantly lower SBP, percentage of HbA1c and TG, as well as significantly higher HDL-cholesterol in this group. Patients with DM1 and AITD were significantly less likely to have NPDR than the control group.
