Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of the 64K autoantigen in insulin-dependent diabetes as the GABA-synthesizing enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase.

TL;DR: The pancreatic islet β-cell autoantigen of relative molecular mass 64,000 (64K), which is a major target of autoantibodies associated with the development of insulin-dependent diabetes mel-litus (IDDM), has been identified as glutamic acid decarboxylase, the biosynthesizing enzyme of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autoantibodies to GABA-ergic neurons and pancreatic beta cells in stiff-man syndrome.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that stiff-man syndrome is an autoimmune disease is supported and GAD is suggested to be the primary autoantigen involved in stiff- man syndrome and the associated insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autoantibodies to Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase in a Patient with Stiff-Man Syndrome, Epilepsy, and Type I Diabetes Mellitus

TL;DR: The findings support the idea that an impairment of neuronal pathways that operate through gamma-aminobutyric acid is involved in the pathogenesis of stiff-man syndrome, and they raise the possibility of an autoimmune pathogenesis.
