Abstract excerpt
We have previously identified 30 differentially expressed genes when comparing recently diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM-1) patients and controls paired for sex, age, and ethnic background. In this article we performed the hierarchical clustering of these genes taking into account the human-leukocyte-antigen (HLA)-DRB1/DQB1 profile. The dendrogram obtained using the Cluster program grouped patients and...
