Puntos clave

To explore the link between ovarian and pituitary autoimmunity and pancreatic autoimmunity in adults.
Analyzed the prevalence of islet autoantibodies in adults with pituitary or ovarian autoimmunity
Identified potential benefits of targeted screening for type 1 diabetes
Increased prevalence of pancreatic autoimmunity observed in adults with specific autoimmunities
Targeted screening may help diagnose type 1 diabetes before symptoms appear

Resumen

Adults with specific autoimmunity disorders, particularly those affecting ovarian and/or pituitary glands, have a higher prevalence of pancreatic autoimmunity. These subjects may benefit from targeted screening to identify the pre-symptomatic stage of T1D and potentially delay progression to clinical disease.
