Abstract excerpt
Some alleles of the HLA-DQB1 and DQA1 loci are preferentially associated with susceptibility to type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Analysis of the HLA-DQ genetic profile may therefore become important for the screening of subjects at risk of IDDM. However ethnic variations in the genetic profile can occur and require background knowledge of the HLA-DQ allelic distribution before screening...
