Does male sex increase the risk of autoimmunity but not type 1 diabetes?
Our finding that male sex conveys an independent increased risk for development of ICA and multiple antibodies, while at the same time finding no difference with respect to the development of diabetes, suggests that male relatives with the known risk factor of ICA are less likely than comparable female relatives to progress to overt disease, that the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes among men is slower compared with women, or that women develop diabetes manifesting different antibody responses.
