Insulin-dependent (Type 1) diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is a genetically controlled T-cell mediated autoimmune disease. Recently, subtyping of HLA-DRB1*04 identified the HLA-DRB1*0403 allele to be associated with protection in Caucasoids with the highest risk heterozygous genotype DQA1*0301-DQB1*0302/DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201. Some studies confirmed this finding, but other reports were not consistent with a dominantly...
