We conducted linkage analysis to follow up earlier work on microvascular complications of type 1 diabetes (T1D). We analyzed 415 families (2,008 individuals) previously genotyped for 402 SNP markers spanning chromosome 6. We did linkage analysis for the phenotypes of retinopathy and nephropathy. For retinopathy, two linkage peaks were mapped: one located at the HLA region and another novel locus telomeric to HLA. For nephropathy, a linkage peak centromeric to HLA was mapped, but the linkage peak telomeric to HLA seen in retinopathy was absent. Because of the strong association of T1D with DRB1*03:01 and DRB1*04:01, we stratified our analyses based on families whose probands were positive for DRB1*03:01 or DRB1*04:01. When analyzing the DRB1*03:01-positive retinopathy families, in addition to the novel telomeric locus, one centromeric to HLA was identified at the same location as the nephropathy peak. When we stratified on DRB1*04:01-positive families, the HLA telomeric peak strengthened but the centromeric peak disappeared. Our findings showed that HLA and non-HLA loci on chromosome 6 are involved in T1D complications’ expression. While the HLA region is a major contributor to the expression of T1D, our results suggest an interaction between specific HLA alleles and other loci that influence complications’ expression.

A i m s & O b j e c t i v e s : To test the hypothesis that an increased plasma concentration of sialic acid, a marker of the acutephaseresponse, is related to the presence of diabetic retinopathy in type 1 diabetes mellitus or Insulin Dependant Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM).R e s e a r c h D e s i g n a n d M e t h o d s : We investigated the relationship between plasma sialic acid concentration and diabetic retinopathy in across-sectional survey of 1,369 people with type 1 diabetes. Subjects were participants in the IDDM Complications Study, which involveddiabetic centers of four different hospitals in Lahore. Results: There was a significantly increasing trend of plasma sialic acid with severityof retinopathy (P < 0.001 in men) and with degree of urinary albumin excretion (P < 0.001 men, P < 0.01 women). Elevated plasma sialicacid concentrations were also associated with several risk factors for diabetic vascular disease: diabetes duration, HbAlc, plasma triglycerideand cholesterol concentrations, waist-to-hip ratio, hypertension and smoking (in men), and low physical exercise (in women). In multiplelogistic regression analysis, plasma sialic acid was independently related to proliferative retinopathy and urinary albumin excretion rate inmen. Conclusions: We concluded that an elevated plasma sialic concentration is strongly related to the presence of microvascularcomplications in type 1 diabetes with retinopathy and nephropathy. Further study of acute-phase response markers and mediators asindicators or predictors of diabetic microvascular complications is therefore justified.
