The Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Nonreceptor 22 (<i>PTPN22</i>) Is Associated With High GAD Antibody Titer in Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults

Abstract

In adult-onset autoimmune diabetes, the PTPN22 1858T variant is associated only with a high GADA titer, providing evidence of a genetic background to clinical heterogeneity identified by GADA titer.
