Abstract excerpt
In this study we report, for the first time, the molecular analysis of HLA-DR and DQ gene frequencies in a large cohort of well-characterized type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients (n = 72), and ethnically matched controls (n = 59) collected in sub-Saharan Africa. High molecular mass DNA was prepared and analysed in Southern blots and by oligonucleotide typing. We have shown a strong...
