An increased prevalence of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes has been reported in patients with congenital rubella. Rubella virus multiplies in the pancreas, and we have hypothesized that studies of children with congenital rubella would be of great importance in following the development of Type 1 diabetes in a defined, susceptible population. Two hundred and forty-one children with congenital rubella (mean age 17.4 +/- 0.3 years; 65% black and hispanic) have been evaluated, 30 of whom already have diabetes and 17 of whom have borderline glucose tolerance. In these latter two groups, HLA-DR3 is significantly increased and HLA-DR2 significantly decreased. Pancreatic islet cell cytotoxic surface antibodies are found in 20% of the total congenital rubella population, including in more than 50% in the time period before they develop diabetes and are not related to any specific HLA type. In addition, anti-microsomal and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies are found in 34% of this population. The data demonstrate that Type 1 diabetes developing in congenital rubella patients has the genetic and immunological features of classical Type 1 diabetes, namely the presence of HLA-DR3, the absence of HLA-DR2, islet cell surface antibodies before decompensation and an increased prevalence of anti-thyroid antibodies. Patients with non-diabetic congenital rubella represent an easily identifiable group in whom other immunological factors associated with Type 1 diabetes can be elucidated and possibly modified.
