Abstract excerpt
A significant increase in the frequency of DPw3/6 alleles defined by restriction-fragment-length polymorphism is observed in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients relative to healthy control subjects (34.6 vs. 10.5%, P less than 0.009). Log-linear modeling demonstrates that this association is independent of HLA-DR3 and -DR4 and IDDM association and cannot be attributed to linkage disequilibrium...
