Abstract excerpt
AIM: Type 1 diabetes susceptibility is influenced by a number of genes, of which those with the strongest effects map to the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) complex. Evidence for linkage of non-HLA genes in several affected sib-pair analyses was increased if the HLA or gender status of the sibs was considered independently. We investigated whether linkage status at the HLA complex differentially affected...
