title: Late-onset autoimmune diabetes in relatives of people with type 1 diabetes.
abstract: The Melbourne Prediabetes Family Study, a prospective study of first-degree relatives of people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), provided an opportunity to examine late-onset autoimmune diabetes within the context of a family history of T1D. We compared genetic, immunologic, and clinical features in relatives of people with T1D, who developed early- versus late-onset diabetes.
