Association of a functional 17beta-estradiol sensitive IL6-174G/C promoter polymorphism with early-onset type 1 diabetes in females
28 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
The type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) candidate gene SNP IL6-174G/C was genotyped in 253 Danish T1DM families (1129 individuals). TDT analysis demonstrated linkage in the presence of association between the IL6-174C allele and T1DM in the 416 T1DM offspring, P(tdt)=0.04. Gender conditioned TDT analyses revealed that linkage and association with T1DM were present in females exclusively; P(tdt)=6.5 x 10(-4) and...
