Abstract excerpt
Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in whites is strongly associated with particular HLA-DQ alpha beta heterodimers composed of a DQ alpha chain with an arginine at residue 52 (Arg52+) combined to a DQ beta chain lacking an aspartic acid at residue 57 (Asp57-). With the aim of confirming this association, clarifying which heterodimers account for the highest risk of IDDM and explaining the excess risk of...
