Diabetes and enterovirus autoimmunity in glacial Europe.

Medical hypotheses - 1 May 1999

Wendorf M A

Abstract excerpt

The incidence of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), a chronic disease with a well-known genetic basis, is highest in Scandinavian and Sardinian populations. The high incidence of IDDM in Scandinavia and Sardinia, which were genetically isolated from the spread of agriculturists in Europe about 8000 years ago, suggests that an IDDM-susceptible genotype(s) may have been beneficial in Europe more than 8000...
