Type 2 & other diabetes

Identifying blood biomarkers for type 2 diabetes subtyping: a report from the Outcome Reduction with an Initial Glargine Intervention (ORIGIN) trial

DiabetologiaPublished Secondary analysis of the ORIGIN randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

We identified 25 serum biomarkers, as independent determinants of type 2 diabetes subtypes, that could be combined into a diagnostic test for subtyping.

Study context

Population
ORIGIN trial participants with diabetes categorised into five subtypes using five clinical variables; 233 cardiometabolic protein biomarkers assessed
Participants
7,017 participants
Comparison
Circulating protein biomarkers to distinguish each diabetes subtype vs the others
  • Severe autoimmune diabetes (SAID)n = 241
  • Severe insulin-deficient diabetes (SIDD)n = 1,594
  • Severe insulin-resistant diabetes (SIRD)n = 914
  • MODn = 1,595
  • Mild age-related diabetes (MARD)n = 2,673
Methodological detailsbiomarker study, forward-selection logistic regression
  • Biomarker study
  • Forward-selection logistic regression
