Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have suggested that the ancestral haplotype 18.2 (AH18.2) carries additional susceptibility gene to Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) on the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC). We analyzed 10 DR3/TNFa1b5 homozygous subjects in order to establish the conservation of the AH18.2 and then compared this conserved region with other DR3 haplotype, the AH8.1. The Illumina's HumanHap550 Bead chip was used to...
