Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To seek potential autoimmune disease susceptibility loci by testing for linkage and linkage disequilibrium between insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) susceptibility loci and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: Five IDDM susceptibility loci map to 2 chromosomal regions, chromosome 2q31-34 (IDDM7, 12, and 13) and chromosome 6q25-27 (IDDM5 and 8). Microsatellite markers within these regions were...
