Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Susceptibility to coeliac disease is genetically determined by possession of specific HLA DQ alleles, acting in concert with one or more non-HLA linked genes. The pattern of familial risk is most parsimonious with a multiplicative model for the interaction between these two classes of genes. Haplotype sharing probabilities across the HLA region in affected sibling pairs suggest that genes within the...
