Abstract excerpt
The association of type 1 diabetes with the insulin gene (IDDM2 locus) has been mapped to a short haplotype encompassing two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in perfect linkage disequilibrium (r(2) = 1) with each other and with the two allele classes at the variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) polymorphism upstream of the transcription site. Although it is believed that the genetic effect is mediated...
