Abstract excerpt
Type 1 diabetes is a common, multifactorial disease with strong familial clustering (genetic risk ratio [lambda(S)] approximately 15). Approximately 40% of the familial aggregation of type 1 diabetes can be attributed to allelic variation of HLA loci in the major histocompatibility complex on chromosome 6p21 (locus-specific lambda(S) approximately 3). Three other disease susceptibility loci have been clearly...
