T-cell receptor constant beta chain polymorphisms and susceptibility to type 1 diabetes.

Abstract excerpt

Several groups have previously shown that the T-cell receptor (TCR) constant-beta (C beta) chain locus is associated with susceptibility to Type 1 diabetes, although other studies have failed to show this. We have extended these studies by investigating 125 individuals with Type 1 diabetes and failed to confirm the significantly increased frequency of the 10;9.2 kb TCR-C beta/Bgl-II genotype in our patient...
