Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: A small number of immune response genes have been consistently associated with the common autoimmune conditions. Recently, a linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping approach, using tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), identified genetic association between type 1 diabetes (T1D) and the interleukin-2 receptor alpha (IL-2Ralpha)/CD25 gene region on chromosome 10p15. Because certain autoimmune...
