Abstract excerpt
The evaluation of susceptibility loci in a registry-based setting could be an important addition to the current predictive and screening models in T1D. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the importance of one of these loci, IFIH1. T1D patients (n=1981), control subjects (n=2092) and 430 families were genotyped for HLA-DQ and IFIH1 nsSNP rs1990760 (Ala946Thr). In the association analysis, the allelic...
