Article Highlights:
We report five new cases of neonatal or early childhood-onset diabetes caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in IL2RA. Autoimmune diabetes was the presenting feature in most individuals and occurs in 64% of all reported cases of immunodeficiency 41. Patients typically presented in infancy with diabetic ketoacidosis, low C-peptide, and GAD antibody positivity, highlighting an autoimmune etiology. The diabetes phenotype was consistent across cases but not linked to variant type or location. IL2RA should be included in genetic testing for neonatal diabetes and considered in children with diabetes plus immune dysregulation.

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...
