Abstract excerpt
Finnish Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic families were analysed for HLA-DQ beta-chain polymorphism using a short intron-specific probe. A simple hybridization pattern was obtained in which all fragments were associated significantly with Type 1 diabetes. The simultaneous presence of two different risk markers, the allelic 12-kilobase and 4-kilobase fragments were strongly associated with Type 1 diabetes since...
