Low risk HLA-DQ and increased body mass index in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes children in the Better Diabetes Diagnosis study in Sweden.

ABSTRACT: Type 1 diabetes and obesity has increased in childhood. We therefore tested the hypothesis that type 1 diabetes human leukocyte antigen DQ (HLA-DQ) risk genotypes may be associated with increased body mass index (BMI).The type 1 diabetes high-risk HLA-DQ A1*05:01-B1*02:01/A1*03:01-B1*03:02 genotype along with lower risk DQ genotypes were determined at the time of clinical onset by PCR and hybridization with allele-specific probes. BMI was determined after diabetes was stabilized.A total of 2403 incident type 1 diabetes children below 18 years of age were ascertained in the Swedish national Better Diabetes Diagnosis (BDD) study between May 2005 to September 2009. All children classified with type 1 diabetes, including positivity for at least one islet autoantibody, were investigated.Overall, type 1 diabetes HLA-DQ risk was negatively associated with BMI (P<0.0008). The proportion of the highest risk A1*05:01-B1*02:01/A1*03:01-B1)03:02 genotype decreased with increasing BMI (P<0.0004). However, lower risk type 1 diabetes DQ genotypes were associated with an increased proportion of patients who were overweight or obese (P<0.0001). Indeed, the proportion of patients with the low-risk A1*05:01-B1*02:01/A1*05:01-B1*02:01 genotype increased with increasing BMI (P<0.003). The magnitude of association on the multiplicative scale between the A1*05:01-B1*02:01/A1*05:01-B1*02:01 genotype and increased BMI was significant (P<0.006). The odds ratio in patients with this genotype of being obese was 1.80 (95% confidence interval 1.21-2.61; P<0.006). The increased proportion of overweight type 1 diabetes children with the A1*05:01-B1*02:01 haplotype was most pronounced in children diagnosed between 5 and 9 years of age.Susceptibility for childhood type 1 diabetes was unexpectedly found to be associated with the A1*05:01-B1*02:01/A1*05:01-B1*02:01 genotype and an increased BMI. These results support the hypothesis that overweight may contribute to the risk of type 1 diabetes in children positive for HLA-DQ A1*05:01-B1*02:01.

Project description:Background: The role of body mass index (BMI) in the treatment outcomes of lymphoma patients is controversial. While investigating the efficacy of ABVD-like regimen in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients, we observed that obese patients had poor responses. To better understand this clinical phenomenon, we evaluated the effect of BMI on responses to ABVD-like chemotherapy in HL patients. Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the clinical outcomes of all 67 patients with confirmed HL who were treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from November 2016 to March 2023 with an ABVD-like regimen as first-line chemotherapy. Baseline patient characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared across different BMI categories. The primary end-point was the overall response rate defined as the proportion of the HL patients who achieved complete response or partial response. The additional end-points included progression-free survival and overall survival. Results: The median age of the HL patients was 31 years old. Of the patients, 10.4% were obese, and 17.9% patients were overweight. Interim and end-term response evaluations revealed overall response rates of 98.5% and 83.6%, respectively. The proportion of patients with potential poor prognostic factors (IPS risk factors) did not differ significantly in the responders versus non-responders. However, non-responders had a higher average BMI when compared with responders (p = 0.002). Poor overall response rates in higher BMI patients indeed manifested with shorter progression free survival (p = 0.013). The minimum relative dose of the ABVD-like regimen in the overweight and obese groups was significantly lower than in the normal weight group (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Our analyses show that >80% of newly-diagnosed HL patients responded to the ABVD-like regimen. We find that being obese or overweight at the time of diagnosis correlated with a poorer overall response rate and that BMI was an independent risk factor in HL patients treated with the ABVD-like regimen. Lower doses of ABVD-like regimen contributed to the discrepant findings of responses in the high BMI groups. These findings indicate that newly-diagnosed, obese HL patients receiving an ABVD-like regimen require personalized treatment.
