Abstract excerpt
The transporter 2, ATP-binding cassette, subfamily B (TAP2) is involved in the transport of antigenic peptides to HLA molecules. Coding TAP2 polymorphisms shows a strong association with type 1 diabetes, but it is not clear whether this association may be entirely due to linkage disequilibrium with HLA DR and DQ. Functionally, rat Tap2 nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) confer differential...
