Popis: Aims The aim was to evaluate the impact of family history of diabetes on the phenotype of patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and the frequency of susceptibility genotypes. Methods Patients with Type 2 diabetes with family history for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes (FHMIX, n = 196) or Type 2 diabetes only (FHT2, n = 139) matched for age, sex, BMI and age at diagnosis, underwent an oral glucose tolerance test and a combined glucagon test and insulin tolerance test. Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibodies and major Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes susceptibility gene variants were analysed. Patients were stratified into groups according to family history or GAD antibody positivity (GADA+, GADA–) or a combination of these (GADA+/FHMIX, GADA+/FHT2, GADA–/FHMIX, GADA–/FHT2). Results Compared with other patients, those with FHMIX more often had GAD antibodies (14.3 vs. 4.3%, P = 0.003), and those with both FHMIX and GAD antibodies had the highest frequency of insulin deficiency (stimulated serum C-peptide
