Abstract excerpt
Haplotypes including HLA A, B, C, DR, and DQ were compared in a study population comprising 18 Tunisian multiplex families with diabetic children. Eighty haplotypes found in IDDM patients were compared with 148 haplotypes present in healthy family members. RFLP analysis showed that two DR subtypes were significantly more common in the diabetic haplotypes (DR4-DQw8: 82 per cent in IDDM members compared to 0 per...
