OBJECTIVE: Specific alleles of non-HLA genes INS, CTLA-4, and PTPN22 have been associated with type 1 diabetes. We examined whether some of these alleles influence development of islet autoimmunity or progression from persistent islet autoimmunity to type 1 diabetes in children with high-risk HLA-DR,DQ genotypes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Since 1993, the Diabetes Autoimmunity Study in the Young (DAISY) has...
