Prevalence of CagA antibody positivity in LADA patients stratified according to a combined HLA/CTLA-4 genetic risk score. No patients were found in the HLA low/CTLA-4 low category. The categories of genetic risks were defined as follows: 0 (HLA low/CTLA-4 low); 1 (HLA low/CTLA-4 high); 2 (HLA intermediate/CTLA-4 low); 3 (HLA intermediate/CTLA-4 high); 4 (HLA high/CTLA-4 low); 5 (HLA high/CTLA-4 high).
