Abstract excerpt
HLA-DQ alleles are strongly associated with IDDM susceptibility and protection. Studies assessing the molecular properties of HLA-DR, a HLA class II locus in linkage disequilibrium with HLA-DQ, have made substantial contributions toward elucidating the structure and function of HLA class II molecules. Reports on the molecular properties of HLA-DQ are now following and have revealed interesting observations...
