Abstract excerpt
The study aimed to further characterise HLA encoded risk factors of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Brazilian population and test the capability of a low resolution full-house DR-DQ typing method to find subjects at diabetes risk. Insulin and CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms were also analysed. The method is based on an initial DQB1 typing supplemented by DQA1 and DR4 subtyping when informative. Increased frequencies of both...
