Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations arise regularly in human T lymphocytes. As these events occur at increased frequencies in several autoimmune disorders, presumably because of increased T-cell proliferation, we investigated if this is also true for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Mutations of the hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt) gene measured by 6-thioguanine (TG) selection were studied in 28...
