Background The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and role of autoantibodies to zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8A) in three forms (fulminant, acute-onset, and slow-onset) of Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes.Methods One-hundred and ninety-six new-onset patients with type 1 diabetes were studied: 85 were fulminant, 81 acute-onset, and 30 slow-onset type 1 diabetes. ZnT8A were determined by radioimmunoassay using a hybrid ZnT8 carboxy-terminal construct (aa268-369) carrying 325Trp and 325Arg. Furthermore, ZnT8A epitopes were analysed using ZnT8 constructs incorporating the known aa325 variants (Trp, Arg, and Gln).Results ZnT8A were detected in 58% patients with acute-onset and 20% with slow-onset type 1 diabetes (p < 0.0005). In contrast, none of sera from fulminant type 1 diabetes were reactive to ZnT8 construct. Conversion of Arg or Trp to Gln at aa325 abolished reactivity in 59% of patients with an age of onset > 10 years, which was significantly higher than that in patients
