Abstract excerpt
The incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1DM) seems to depend in part on the population frequencies of susceptible and protective HLA haplotypes. The present study aimed to (i): characterize the genetic susceptibility to T1DM in the Slovenian population, (ii) test the general hypothesis that T1DM incidence is related to the frequencies of susceptible/protective haplotypes, (iii) compare allele, haplotype and genotype...
