Abstract excerpt
We explored the contribution of non-class II HLA loci to type 1 diabetes genetic susceptibility in the Finnish population. We analyzed 11 markers covering a 4-Mb region telomeric to the DQB1 gene in Finnish nuclear families with parents carrying either the DR8-DQB1*04 (n=188) or the DRB1*0404-DQB1*0302 haplotypes (n=135). On the DRB1*0404-DQB1*0302 haplotype we found independent disease association of the D6S273...
