Extreme genetic risk for type 1A diabetes in the post-genome era.

Abstract excerpt

A series of genes and loci influencing the genetic risk of type 1A (immune-mediated) diabetes are now well characterized. These include genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), polymorphisms 5' of the insulin gene, and PTPN22, as well as more recently defined loci from genome-wide association studies. By far the major determinants of risk for type 1A diabetes are genes within or linked to the MHC and...
