Abstract excerpt
Cytokine-induced beta-cell death is an important factor in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The transcription factor NFkappaB plays an important role in cytokine-induced gene activation. Hence, NFKB1 is a possible candidate gene for T1DM disposition. A polymorphic (CA) dinucleotide repeat microsatellite has been identified near the NFKB1 gene. In a recent case-control study certain alleles of...
