Abstract excerpt
The contribution of SNPs in TNF genes to type 1 diabetes (T1D) is not well established and may be confounded by the linkage disequilibrium within the HLA genes. Seven SNPs in the TNF genes (TNFA and TNFB) were genotyped in a Korean cohort (398 T1D patients and 1422 nondiabetic controls), along with HLA DRB1, DQB1, and MICA (MHC class I chain-related genes). Among them, three SNPs (TNFB+318, TNFA-857, and...
