Abstract excerpt
The diabetes predisposing effect of HLA genes is defined by a complex interaction of various haplotypes. We analyzed the disease association of HLA DRB1-DQA1-DQB1 genotypes in a large nuclear family cohort (n = 622) collected in Finland. Using the affected family based artificial control approach we aimed at characterizing all detectable disease-specific HLA haplotype and genotype effects. The DRB1*0401-DQB1*0302...
