Abstract excerpt
We wished to determine the frequencies of the MHC and non-MHC susceptibility genes for polygenic autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes (IDDM). We used Mendelian inheritance and the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to calculate the frequencies of mating pairs and susceptible offspring under classical recessive and dominant inheritance of the MHC susceptibility gene. We then analyzed the distribution of haplotype...
