Abstract excerpt
A point mutation in the leukocyte common antigen (CD45, C-->G77, exon 4) was investigated in patients with type 1 diabetes (IDDM), patients with Graves' disease and controls. The distribution did not differ significantly between patients and controls. This CD45 variant does not therefore confer susceptibility to either IDDM or Graves' disease.
