Abstract excerpt
The genes located between class II and class I HLA genes including polymorphic tumour necrosis factor (TNF) genes may contribute to the disease susceptibility in IDDM. Restriction fragment polymorphisms of the TNF-beta gene have been found to be fixed in the major IDDM susceptibility haplotypes, the B62,DR4 haplotype being associated with the 10.5-kb fragment and the B8,DR3 haplotype with a 5.5-kb fragment. We...
