Abstract excerpt
The Type I Diabetes Genetics Consortium genotyped 24 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CTLA4 locus in 2298 type I diabetes (T1D) nuclear families (11 159 individuals, 5003 affected) to evaluate the recognized T1D association. The 24 CTLA4 SNPs span approximately 43 kb from the 5' flanking to 3' flanking region of the gene in the middle of an extended region of linkage disequilibrium of more than 100...
