Aims: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is associated with various genetic and autoimmune diseases implicated in its etiopathogenesis. We hereby profile the clinical association of such diseases among patients from our center. Methods: Consecutive patients of T1DM presenting to department of Endocrinology from May 1997 to December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed in context of associated clinical profile. Results: Among 260 patients diagnosed as T1DM, 21 (8%) had hypothyroidism, 4 (1.5%) had hyperthyroidism and 2 (0.7%) had primary adrenal insufficiency. Eighteen patients (7%) had celiac disease, 9 (3.5%) had Turner's syndrome, 5 patients (1.9%) had Klinefelter's syndrome, whereas Down's syndrome and Noonan's syndrome was present in 2 and 1 patients (0.7%) respectively. One patient had Wolframs' syndrome and 1 patients had myasthenia gravis. Systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis were present in 3 and 1 patients respectively. Total of 5 patients with cerebral palsy, 4 cases with deaf mutism, 4 cases with acute psychosis and 16 patients with depression were noted. Mean age of study patients was 20.8 +/- 9.8 years (range, 3-23 years). Conclusion: Various conditions including genetic (Down, Turner, Noonan, and Klinefelter's), autoimmune (thyroid and adrenal disorders, myasthenia gravis, SLE, rheumatoid arthritis) and central nervous system diseases were the associated diseases encountered in our patients. Routine screening is required for early diagnosis and treatment of associated co morbidities. (C) 2012 Diabetes India. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
