Abstract excerpt
Prior data associating the expression of lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (LCK) with type 1 diabetes, its critical function in lymphocytes, and the linkage of the region to diabetes in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse model make LCK a premier candidate for a susceptibility gene. Resequencing of LCK in 32 individuals detected seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with allele frequencies >3%,...
