Ordering Guidance
Islet cell antigen 2 (IA2) testing is available individually (this test) and with glutamic acid decarboxylase 65-kilodalton isoform (GAD65), insulin, and zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8) antibodies as a part of DBS1 / Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 Evaluation, Serum. The evaluation is most appropriate to order in the following clinical contexts:
-Distinguishing type 1 (autoimmune) diabetes mellitus from type 2 diabetes mellitus
-Identifying individuals at risk of type 1 diabetes (including high-risk relatives of patients with diabetes)
-Predicting future insulin requirement treatment in patients with adult-onset diabetes
Individual antibody testing would be more appropriate if 1, 2, or 3 of the analytes (GAD65, IA-2, insulin, ZnT8 antibodies) have already been tested and reported negative, and the provider wishes to test for the balance of remaining untested analytes only.

Islet cell autoantibodies have been known to be associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus for many years. In recent years, several autoantigens against which islet antibodies are directed have been identified. These include the tyrosine phosphatase-related islet antigen 2 (IA-2), glutamic acid decarboxylase 65, zinc transporter 8, and insulin. One or more of these autoantibodies are detected in 96% of patients with type 1 diabetes and are detectable before clinical onset, as well as in symptomatic individuals. A serological study of 50 individuals with type 1 diabetes and 50 control subjects conducted simultaneously across 43 laboratories in 16 countries demonstrated a median sensitivity of 57% and a median specificity of 99% for IA-2 antibody in type 1 diabetes. Prospective studies in relatives of patients with type 1 diabetes have shown that development of 1 or more islet autoantibodies (including IA-2 antibody) provides an early marker of progression to type 1 diabetes. Autoantibody profiles identifying patients destined to develop type 1 diabetes are usually detectable before age 3. In one study of relatives seropositive for IA-2 antibody, the risk of developing type 1 diabetes within 5 years was 65.3%. Some patients with type 1 diabetes are initially diagnosed as having type 2 diabetes because of symptom onset in adulthood, societal obesity, and initial insulin-independence. These patients with "latent autoimmune diabetes in adulthood" may be distinguished from those patients with type 2 diabetes by detection of 1 or more islet autoantibodies (including IA-2).

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Seropositivity for islet antigen 2 autoantibody (> 0.02 nmol/L) is supportive of:
-A diagnosis of type 1 diabetes
-A high risk for future development of diabetes
-A current or future need for insulin therapy in patients with diabetes
Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

Negative results do not exclude the diagnosis of or future risk for type 1 diabetes mellitus. The risk of developing type 1 diabetes may be stratified further by testing for antibodies targeting insulin, glutamic acid decarboxylase, and zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8) and human leukocyte antigen genetic markers. Careful monitoring of hyperglycemia is the mainstay of determining the requirement for insulin therapy.

Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
Iodine-125 ([125]I)-labeled recombinant human islet cell antigen (IA-2) is added to the test serum; if antibody is present, it forms a soluble complex with the (125)I-labeled IA-2. Subsequent addition of goat antihuman IgG precipitates the complex. The amount of radioactivity in the precipitate is proportional to the level of antibody in the serum.(Unpublished Mayo method)
