Immunology forum question - Zinc transporter 8 antibody - from David Heyworth-Smith
Greetings. Is anyone offering routine testing of zinc transporter-8 autoantibodies? We (QML) have received a solitary request. My brief scanning of the literature suggests measurement may have some additive predictive value to anti-GAD and anti-IA2 in relatives of type 1 diabetics and also in assessment of late onset autoimmune diabetes. Many thanks for any information and comments.
Kind regards
David
