Abstract excerpt
Recent genome screening studies have identified novel regions of possible interest for susceptibility to type 1 diabetes. One of these is a 30-35 cM region mapping to 16q22-q24 (D16S515-D16S520), where also the gene encoding NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) maps. Data has suggested association of a polymorphism (P187S) in the NQO1 gene and type 1 diabetes. NQO1 is involved in protection against oxidative...
