Abstract excerpt
The MHC region (6p21) aggregates the major genes that contribute to susceptibility to type 1 diabetes (T1D). Three additional relevant susceptibility regions mapped on chromosomes 1p13 (PTPN22), 2q33 (CTLA-4), and 11p15 (insulin) have also been described by linkage studies. To evaluate the contribution of these susceptibility regions and the chromosomes that house these regions, we performed a large-scale...
